Following a tumultuous 2021-2022 Room Selection process, a new campus group is advocating for completely randomized housing.
No Autonomy Penn (NAP) was founded by first-years Catherine Norton and Alice Musk, after the pair was unable to secure a two-bed suite in New College House West for the upcoming school year. They said their organization doesn’t have vengeful goals in the slightest.
“We didn’t get what we want, so now we want to make sure nobody else does either,” Norton said. “I don’t really see why that’s a problem, that’s just called fairness.”
