Western Association of College and University
Housing Officers (WACUHO). The following regions were under-represented: AIMHO
(3.29% versus 5.76%); NEACUHO (15.46%
versus 17.85%); NWACUHO (4.61% versus
6.54%); and UMR-ACUHO (12.17% versus
12.42%). Finally, the three smallest housing
capacity categories were under-represented:
0-500 (8.50% versus 17.20%); 501-750 (6.21%
versus 8.66%); and 751-1,000 (6.21% versus
9.99%), with only the smallest being seriously
under-represented. All other responses for institutional type, region, and housing capacity
were over-represented.
Instrument
The Gender-Neutral Housing Survey instrument
used in this study was adapted from the questions used in DeCoster's (1979) study of coeducational student housing in higher education.
The DeCoster survey was used as a template,
given its relevance to undergraduate living
conditions and its focus on gendered housing
arrangements. The DeCoster survey consisted
of three multiple answer items questioning
the configuration of coeducational housing
facilities. The Gender-Neutral Housing Survey
expanded DeCoster's survey to a total of 13
items aimed at uncovering policies regarding
housing arrangements for unmarried students of various genders and gender identities.
Twelve items in the instrument were formatted as multiple choice/multiple answer items,
while one item allowed for an open answer
response. Gender-neutral housing was defined
as housing in which a unit (room, suite, apartment) is not occupied by individuals of the
same biological (legal) sex.
The items in the Gender-Neutral Housing
Survey were developed to provide data in three
distinct areas. Seven of the survey items solicited descriptive data about each participating
institution. (Sample item: "What is the size
of your institution?") Another portion of the
instrument, two survey items, explored the
content of discussions about the introduction
of GNH facilities on ACUHO-I campuses.
(Sample item: "To what extent has your institution considered implementing gender-neutral
housing?") The remaining four items in the
