Council to debate housing resolution

Student Council is scheduled to vote next week on a resolution protesting a plan to eliminate entering first-year students' ability to choose to reside in either old or new dorms. An enrollment committee of University officials proposed changing the first-year housing process to increase diversity in first-year dormitories. Council representatives Justin Pfeiffer, Adam Swann and Christina White drafted the resolution, which admonishes the lack of student involvement in drawing up the proposal and strongly opposes the proposal itself. Council will vote on the resolution after debate and the opportunity to make amendments Tuesday. Even if the measure passes, it may not change University policy.
