Other residents may take less ownership in their floor or building and not work toward reducing these costs. Residents who choose not to pay Hall Council dues are often covered by those who do. In the Office of Residence Life, we think it works. That is why we continue to operate with this policy. Many residents have become more active in reducing damage and loss.
More money is available for hall improvements and programs.
Keep a watchful eye and ear. If you see someone walking away with an end table or destroying a chair in your lounge, confront them. Contact a staff member or Campus Police if necessary. Don't allow just anyone access to your building after lock-up. Ask people who they are here to see, and make sure that is where they go.
