\uff08\u4e2d\u592e\u793e\u8a18\u8005\u9673\u81f3\u4e2d<\/a>(CNA, Taipei, Aug. 26) The Ministry of Education (MOE) today released a reference handbook for establishing gender-inclusive housing in higher education institutions. The guide showcases a variety of student housing models, including National Taiwan Normal University\u2019s (NTNU) \"co-ed floors with single-sex rooms\" and National Chengchi University\u2019s (NCCU) \"gender-neutral apartment-style dorms\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a press release issued today, the Ministry of Education (MOE) stated that the Handbook for Establishing Gender-Inclusive Housing in Higher Education Institutions was developed in collaboration with the Taiwan Gender Equity Education Association and scholars including Bi Heng-da and Lin Mei-chun. The team gathered domestic and international literature, conducted field visits, and analyzed case studies to provide concrete guidelines spanning overall policy, application workflows, physical spaces, dormitory management, and student self-governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender-inclusive housing moves away from the mindset of using biological sex as the sole basis for housing assignments. Instead, it prioritizes students' individual needs, privacy, and personal safety, gradually reducing unnecessary gender segregation within dormitory spaces. Depending on their distinct campus cultures, dormitory types, architectural constraints, and student demands, universities have developed unique institutional policies and spatial layouts for their gender-inclusive housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) adopts a \"co-ed floors with single-sex rooms\" model, designating specific floors within the dormitory as gender-inclusive housing zones. In principle, roommates within each room are assigned based on the same biological sex; however, students of different genders may reside on the same floor, and access control policies do not vary by gender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking NTNU's 7th Dormitory as an example, floors 3 through 6 are designated for male students, and floors 7 through 12 for female students, while the 2nd floor has been selected as the gender-inclusive floor. The 2nd floor features 22 four-person rooms with private en-suite bathrooms, consisting of 10 male rooms and 12 female rooms distributed in a checkerboard pattern. Additionally, laundry facilities\u2014including washing, drying, and air-drying spaces\u2014are located on the left and right sides of the floor and are open to all residents without gender segregation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Chengchi University\u2019s Huanan New Village adopts a gender-neutral apartment-style housing model where students form groups to enter the housing lottery and independently coordinate room assignments without university intervention. In practice, mixed-gender groups still largely maintain gender-segregated living arrangements, such as dividing floor usage by gender within the same building.

The Ministry of Education (MOE) emphasized that the core principle of establishing gender-inclusive housing is not to require a single, uniform model for all universities. Instead, it aims to guide institutions in rethinking their housing systems and spatial utilization. The goal is to construct a residential environment that responds to diverse gender needs, balances personal safety with individual privacy, and promotes equality and inclusion. Each university may implement these changes through a step-by-step approach based on their own campus conditions. (Edited by Chang Ming-kun)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
