Illegal ad for roommate?

[Salty]

A college student advertise for a roommate.

Was she breaking the law?

There is no information given that indicates who owns the house/apartment/room for which she is advertising a room mate.

If it is her house she can have, or not have, anyone she pleases as a room mate.

If she is renting, the landlord may have a say as to who she is allowed to sublet to.

If it is a campus dorm the school will have the final say.

Not enough information for a meaningful answer.

Sounds like just another stupid millenial looking to stay in a safe little cacoon shielded from the real world.

So much for "diversity".

I agree with the school's president - it's "another example of social media being an ineffective platform for complex dialog on critical issues".

Was an off-campus apt.
However, campus President did state that was unacceptable to the college.

In addition, about 6 years ago, a lady put up an ad on her Church bulletin board. The State dep of Fair housing got wind of it - and sued this lady. (she was looking for a Christian female)

And finally, had the women in the OP had been white and insisted on only a white, hetorsexual roommate can you image the circus the press would have had?

Disregard. What I originally wrote was incorrect.
