All current spots should remain open, if housing will not be increased until next year. The renewal rate for off-campus subsidies is disputed. The housing office believes that they will be able to meet the renewal demand. Our focus should be on everyone who wants a space, getting a space, and that we ought to better advertise the housing lottery, etc. to ensure that this happens. All these issues will be removed, if enough money is allocated to ensure that no spaces are lost.
Housing needs to finance itself, so that is one issue.
We need a few million for the next few years until the new housing is built. It will not be possible to move all the people from the subsidized housing into the new housing-and there may be increased demand, as new housing opens and the rental market worstens. Stipend Increase Will be brought up at next meeting with the Provost.
