December 21, 2011 Letter to Vice President Whang Regarding R. 2

Dear Vice President for Facilities Services Kyu - Jung Whang,

On December 6th, 2011, the University Assembly passed Resolution 2. This resolution resolves that each construction project beginning design after the passage of this resolution, and renovations of facilities on the Ithaca campus where the overall project cost is over $5,000,000, will include at least one accessible, single stall, unisex restroom. In addition, it resolves that current single-stall restrooms on the Ithaca campus be converted to unisex restrooms where such a conversion does not contravene New York State minimum requirements for gendered restroom accommodations and that diaper-changing stations be available in campus restrooms where possible and where most beneficial to all types of family structure. Lastly, it resolves that each construction of athletic and recreation facilities with locker rooms beginning design after the passage of this resolution include at least one unisex changing and shower facility.

The resolution is attached for your review.

I look forward to hearing from you. Have a happy holiday.

Best, Melissa
