SA Residence and Community Life Committee Meeting
Goldwin Smith 162
November 10, 2009
Revitalizing interest in Program Houses
- Send out through Listserv’s
- RA Listserv?
- All Listserv’s?
- Promo in the Sun?
- Ujamaa Listserv (for Ujamaa spot)
- May be met with some reluctance because students will want to see how Ken Glover issue will play out
Resolution 21
- Using our RHD resolution to argue that Glover shouldn’t be removed until students placed on selection committee and have voiced opinion
Ivy Council
- Talked about housing
- Cornell by far has best system (variety, more choice)
Transfer Housing
- Transfers want to be more involved with residential community
- But would still like to stick together
- New transfer house? In west?
- Integrate groups of transfers into residential community
- Transfer floor? Transfer suite? Program house-like?
- Guaranteed housing for transfers? And sophomores?
- On west?
- But sophomores are already guaranteed housing on campus
- Larger percentage is reserved for sophomores ahead of time
- Contradicts need to promote interest in program houses (making it less of an option)
- Can be solved by giving sophomores first pick
Student Survey (will be sent out by SA)
- Include a ResLife question?
