First-year residence hall director Randy Alexander said reasons behind the change include conflicts between workers and residents. Not only does the drone of the vacuum irritate both sleeping and awakened students, he said, but bathroom cleaning is a major problem. He said custodians are slowed by the constant bustle of residents in and out of the bathrooms, and their jobs interfere with student schedules. We have to be sensitive to student needs. We're not like the Union or a classroom.
People live here.
Alexander said most students use the bathroom in the morning between 7 and 9 a.m. He said if cleaning times were moved even a half hour, a lot of time would be saved. Thirty minutes doesn't seem like much, and it seems like one person doesn't make a difference. Many workers disagree. Nancyne Iverson, a custodial worker in Maple Hall, said the extra 30 minutes won't make a difference.
