As the housing season goes into full gear, Dean of Student Affairs, Kevin Shollenberger, and Dean of Community Development and Multicultural Affairs, Theresa Martinez, announced that the proposed gender neutral housing policy will not be implemented. The policy proposed to allow students of the opposite sex to room together in a double. CTV News spoke with Scott Wright, Vice President of Auxiliary Services, to address the matter.

"From the housing end of the decision, it was really a tactical question. So the question was would be able to facilitate gender neutral housing using the software system we use for the room."

There is a discrepancy between what student leaders expected and the final decision. Barry Weinberg addressed his concern with the administration.

"Barry Weinberg talks about the support from Scott Wright and the student councils in the story."

After the proposal was delayed, student leaders have seen growing support from the student body. Recently student leaders have created a petition to demonstrate the student population's disapproval of the administration.

"Sean Udell talking about the petition that has gotten over 400 students."

Since this interview, the number has increased to over 900. Dean Shollenberger and Dean Martinez did not comment but Dean Moody-Adams and Dean Pena-Mora expressed interest in a proposed pilot program.
