How do you feel about identity based housing?

I think identity based housing is still needed on campus. If it wasn't then people would not be living in ID based housing now either in the mods or the dorms. There would definitely not have been students fighting for new (or reopened...) mods such as the Latino Mod, Mixed Race Mod, and the new Queer Mod. These are safe spaces for students and although they may be seen as a way of segregating students they are just spaces for students to feel comfortable at their home. 

Basically, ID based housing is necessary for certain students to feel comfortable and have a safe space that would otherwise not be available. ID based housing was fought for by students and is still serving students.

Thanks for asking how we feel, but why are you asking? It would be nice for us to know why this question is being asked...
