INTEGRATION OF THE GENDERS O
n February 29, Union College Board of Directors and Trustees collaboratively made a decision on a long-time discussion topic. There were numerous takes on the issue, but overall, the campus administrative leaders decided to move forward in their efforts to make Union a more progressive campus. Without any remaining limits to publications, it's a privilege to announce the integration of genders in the Culver student residence hall above the Ortner Center. Efforts to begin this integration will commence after the conclusion of summer classes and full integration will be seen at the start of the 2018-2019 academic school year. This development will still have its limitations, of course. The separating wall of Culver will be taken down and students in this residence hall will have neighbors of the opposite gender. However, limitations to this progressive
decision include that males and females may not share the same room, thus keeping with Adventist standards. Additionally, students must be 21 years of age, in senior standing by credits, have maintained positive social standing with the deans during their entire time at Union College and must have been a student for at least one semester prior to admission into the integrated Culver residency. Kim Canine, Vice President for Student Services at Union, commented, “We believe this will be a good opportunity for students getting ready to move into the ‘real world’ to have the experience of living in an apartment setting while still allowing them to remain on campus. The hope is that by giving these students the opportunity to live as ‘free adults’ in a controlled setting, they will experience less culture shock after graduation when moving into the real world.”
