The Housing Division has sent an e-mail to all students living on Grounds asking for their opinion on a possible laundry surcharge. For $100 per scholastic year, students living in University Housing could have unlimited laundry privileges. According to the Housing Division, the $100 charge is the equivalent of washing and drying about forty loads during the course of the 38 weeks that the University is in session for both the fall and spring semesters.
One of the Housing Division's vendors suggested the laundry surcharge since such a charge has been implemented successfully at other schools in the region.
Housing Director Mark Doherty said the Housing Division tries to keep basic rental increases as low as possible but the laundry surcharge "is significant enough that clearly we want to see what our students thought about it."
If students approve, the program could be implemented as soon as next school year.
