Student housing is a controversial issue in the city.
The university currently has 26,035 students, but is able to house only 27 percent. Projected enrollment increases mean that the project may be pushed forward for a fall 2003 completion date. The campus plan will be voted on by the Colorado Commission for Higher Education in February. If the plan is approved, CU will seek a private developer to build as well as lease the units on university property near Williams Village. We haven't done this before, but I am hopeful this is an idea whose time has come.
