As reported by KUT Austin and aired on NPR’s All Things Considered, elected officials in Austin are set to prohibit bedrooms without windows in new developments after years of advocacy by UT students spearheaded by principal Juan Miró:
“Windows should be a human right,” Miró says, arguing that the health benefits of natural light should outweigh the need for more student housing. “A lot of students went through the pandemic in those windowless rooms. … They were telling me, ‘It’s horrible.’”
