SA Committee on Residence and Community Life Meeting
Stimson 105
September 22, 2009
- Suggestions for/Comments on RHD Resolution
- Program houses are open to community so there are others at stake
- It is only fair for those paying to live there to also have a say in RHD
- Even those moving out, who have more experience, should have some input
- First focus on program houses, then extend resolution to other dorms
- Add end of the year RHD evaluation survey
- Make sure there is only one RHD per building
- Those interested in electing RHD should attend open Hall Council meetings
- Create temporary committee focused on RHD election
- RHD elections in larger dorms may lead to students electing a more lenient RHD while the University would prefer a more responsible one
- There is a lack of student and RHD relationship in larger dorms
- Low and High Rises
- Since these buildings were built to prevent rioting, navigation through building is difficult and unclear for residents
- Allow key card access to all stairways
- Could possibly cut back on power used by excessive elevator use by residents
- Noise Violation Regulations in Collegetown
- Find a way to get rid of them since the University partly owns Collegetown
- Off Campus Housing
- Allow construction of more floors on apartment buildings
- This would lower prices
- Reservations of Dining Halls
- Make it so that reservations are not only open to residents
- As long as the reservation is an open event
- Final Thoughts on RHD Resolution
- Hold off on moving RHD’s until final decision made on resolution
- Acknowledge different living conditions
- Program Houses, North Campus Dorms, West Campus Dorms, Co-Ops, etc.
- Main Purpose of Resolution: To act, in response to all students, on giving them not only a voice in RHD selection but also a vote.
- Misc.
- There will also be a meeting next week at the same time (4:30 pm, Sep. 29)
- Once Jon confirms meeting with Director of Residential Programs Joe Burke anyone is welcome to attend and support
