'''Open Housing''' (formerly '''Gender Neutral Housing''') is the term for the series of policies put forward by the [[Columbia College Student Council]] and [[Engineering Student Council]] beginning in the 2009-10 academic year. The policies focus on changing the rules governing how [[Housing Services]] deals with gender and gender identity in the residence halls.

In 2010, under the direction of then-VP Policy [[Sarah Weiss]], a trial run was approved by administrators for the upcoming year which would allow students to opt into the system. The new rules would be:

*A student could opt to live with someone who is listed in the system as any gender
*Housing would allow students to claim exclusion from the gender binary, such as defining as transsexual
*A student who is being assigned a random roommate would not be assigned one of a differing gender, unless specifically requesting that option

Despite administrative approval, the trial run was ultimately not implemented due to the scheduling of Deans [[Michele Moody-Adams]] and [[Feniosky Pena-Mora]], who had to also approve the program, but did not have time to formally review it before [[Room Selection]]. A revision of the policy is planned for the 2010-11 academic year, and is slated to be implemented for the upcoming Room Selection.
