We
 are writing to express our utmost support for the campaign to win safe 
space for our fellow students at BU.  It is quite disturbing that gender
 neutral housing was not a pressing enough concern for the 
administration to warrant keeping its timetable (much less keeping up 
with most other universities around Boston and the country).  Despite 
having an equal opportunity policy that includes gender variance, the 
actual institutions at BU have fallen far short of the basic needs of 
its student population.
 
 Forcing 
students to identify within the gender binary for housing as well as 
what bathrooms they use is extremely alienating and dangerous to their 
physical and psychological well-being.  SJP will not rest until BU ends 
its stratification of housing and bathrooms and provides safety and 
autonomy over the bodies and living conditions of our community.    We 
promise to support this campaign in every possible way and remain 
committed to pushing for a just future at our school and all over the 
world.
