University of Kansas leaders say they won’t offer gender-inclusive living assignments at one dormitory beginning next academic year, and they will get rid of a gender-neutral bathroom there.

I've been invited to a couple events at Grace Pearson and I have to tell you that it's a special place, and KU is failing its mission with this bad decision.

One of the student leaders asked me to share this petition to save it:

KU promises that students may apply for GIA in ANY hall on campus. This semester, they told GP residents that they will be revoking our GIA rooms for the following year, despite many students already signing contracts.

Want to live elsewhere on campus? If you identify as LGBTQIA+, but don't want to live in the Rainbow Community, you can request a gender inclusive assignment in any hall.

Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall (GP) is the cheapest coed option on KU Campus. By removing GIA rooms, KU is forcing out low-income trans students.

There's some similarities going around in KU housing- lets clear this up!

GP: Grace Pearson Scholarship Hall
GSP: Gertrude Sellards Pearson Residence Hall
JRP: Joseph R Pearson Hall
Pearson: Pearson Scholarship Hall

We are Grace Pearson Scholarship hall, aka GP!

This is some bullshit, KU. The atmosphere built at GP is so nice and welcoming, and it’s so incredibly wrong to take a sledgehammer to that culture, especially to abide by an executive order that isn’t actually law.
