A private developer cannot say:"This apartment house is a theme house, and only available to persons of European descent. The one next door is reserved for African- Americans, and the next for Asians." He would immediately run afoul of the Fair Housing laws, because he is, in effect, enforcing segregation by reserving apartments for those of a particular race. It would be no defense to say that participation in the theme housing was voluntary (since one could go to apartments which were not restricted), and that other theme houses were made available to accommodate those of other races. Very clearly, he is violating the law, which forbids even subtle pressure to steer persons of a particular race away from a particular neighborhood. I would be very curious to see if there is a University Exception to the Fair Housing laws......
