Syracuse University is planning a pilot program for next fall that will allow students to live with a member of the opposite sex in on-campus housing.

Terra Peckskamp, interim director of the Office of Residence Life, told the Daily Orange on Tuesday that the program will be open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, and they will only be allowed to live in two-person suites and South Campus apartments.

Amit Taneja, associate director of SU's LGBT Resource Center, said the university is gathering feedback from student groups in an effort to make this program successful.

"At the end of the day this policy is coming as a result of the request made by students and parents," Taneja said, "Who are we to say you need to live with a male or you need to live with a female?"
