A select group of high-achieving, outgoing, white, male second years would be selected to board with Gutmann and her husband in their 13,975 square-foot house on Walnut. This would allow Gutmann to show solidarity with the sophomores, who must now overpay for a shared room with a hotel kitchenette.

FFP is part of a larger international divestment movement, led by 350.org.

Op-Ed: Do My Roommates Have Terrible Taste in Music or Do I Just Hate Them

OPINION | Caroline Curran Sunday, Oct. 6, 2019Sun, Oct 6, 2019

Picture this: I’m sitting in my room and I hear music through the wall, coming from the shared living space in this house. I wouldn’t describe the music as pleasant. In fact, it was absolutely heinous. Usually, I’m a pretty considerate roommate. Low maintenance. Chill. But if I have to listen to this playlist for another second of my life, I’m going to fucking lose it.
