The International Residential College Council voted March 22 to adopt a new constitution, effective immediately, as the IRC approaches its 25th anniversary this fall. According to Philippe Hempel, IRC minister of community operations and third-year Architecture student, he began redrafting the Council’s constitution over winter break when Council members realized the previous constitution did not provide clear guidance to navigate it through challenges in the fall 2025 semester.

However, both City Zoning Administrator Read Brodhead and the legal firm representing the housing developer, have argued against Reeder’s appeal.
