They offer this as an opportunity for students to feel accepted in a new college community and I see nothing wrong with it.

Everyone in housing becomes a community no matter gender or race. This about bringing people together more than apart.

The housing isn't segregated there are apartments where you may have the option. The dorms aren't exclusive and anyone can join

The program isn't that different from how most schools have majors in things like Asian-American studies and women studies, only diff is...
