Tara D. Hudson questions the potential of Duke's new policy of random roommate assignment to be successful in supporting learning about diversity. Hudson notes that with random roommate assignments, the conditions for attitude change are not necessarily met. There can be status differential and/or competition between the roommates as well as a lack of institutional training or support. This last can appear to be the institution making minoritized students responsible for their peers' education. More effective, according to Hudson's research, would be living-learning communities that foster friendships based on shared interests and developmentally appropriate support such as intergroup dialogue, intercultural training, and intercultural learning partnerships between roommates.
