A leaked photo of a set of rules for students living in the co-op building emerged on Reddit, where it is clearly stated that white individuals must not enter the common area. 

Segregation can also be perceived through other rules, such as “Rule #2,” indicating that residents must “always announce guests [and] if they are white.” 

The introductory paragraph mainly focuses on skin colour. Indeed, it outlines why, in this building, segregating white students from students of colour is tolerable. 

“House members should always be respected by all guests. Make sure your guests understand our house values and uphold the theme of the house, as you are responsible for their behavior. Many POC moved here to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests.”

It is clearly written that “white people are not allowed in common spaces.”

Another house rule says that residents should “avoid bringing parents and family members that express bigotry.”
