President Bobby Vagt and Dean of Students Tom Shandley agreed on Fri. to pass the co-ed housing resolution with a stipulation that the policy be reviewed after two years.
"Having talked to lots of students and recognizing some reservations, we're going to implement for a two-year trial period the recommendations of the CCRL," Vagt said. "The only reason is that it forces us to take a look at it and see if it's working."
The Committee on Campus and Religious Life (CCRL) had submitted the proposal to Vagt and Shandley on Feb. 7. The committee voted to recommend the proposal to Vagt with a stipulation that the coed living application process include a clarifying waiver.
This waiver will clarify what the Residence Life Office (RLO) can and cannot do to address awkward situations that may arise from men and women living together.
Groups will have to sign this waiver to be eligible.
Richmond Blake '09, who led the effort to bring co-ed housing to Davidson, was pleased with the decision.
"The new co-ed housing measures ensure that students will have the option to live in the most appropriate and comfortable living arrangements for their varying situations," Blake said.
"I am just happy to have been able to work on this issue through SGA, and I look forward to the benefits it will have on our campus."
