MU Policy On Housing Is Advised
Oxford Miami University officials are advised by a special committee to adopt a non discrimination housing policy for off campus student housing. The panel urges accepting renters without regard to race color creed religion or national origin if otherwise qualified. A landlords list would exclude properties not adhering to the policy. Two options are considered including a minority report applying only to housing for more than two students or scrapping the housing registration program. The board of trustees will likely review the matter at the pre commencement meeting on May 27.
