Equality and a Built Environment of Differences 

08-04-2023 01:31 PM

Two decades ago, college and university leaders began to construct “luxury” residence halls – and charge students more for the privilege of residing in them. The widespread adoption of these amenity-filled facilities coupled with the diffusion of self-sustaining budget policies resulted in "differentiated pricing" in student housing options. But pursuing revenue maximization strategies while catering to student preferences also exacerbated the challenge of creating a diverse and equitable campus. To further understand these changes, our team of researchers established three studies to examine the question: "In what ways are first-year residence life experiences stratified by race and residence hall design?" 
 
During this webinar, a 2020 ACUHO-I Funded Research Team will present findings from their study.
