Housing wants rule change
By Sarah Clark
Oregon Ofl*V [trmaKi
University Housing has proposed
changing an Oregon Administrative Rule
in order to revise the guidelines for fami
ly housing eligibility requirements
A hearing on the proposed rule is
scheduled today at 3:30 p.m. in Room 221
Allen.
The University needs to change the rule
in order to implement new family hous
ing eligibility requirements that would
open family housing to all students with
financial need who are over 21.
The current administrative rule says
childless students must be married in
order to qualify for family housing.
The proposed rule would let the Uni
versity's housing director decide eligibil
ity requirements by considering several
factors, including that family housing
rents are so much cheaper than other
local rents that it constitutes a "signifi
cant financial benefit" for tenants.
Some students said the University
should let tenants have a vote in eligibili
ty decisions.
"We should have an equal voice in
de< isions that affect our daily lives.” said
Amazon Tenants Council Officer Nancy
Forrest.
The proposed rule would require the
housing dire< tor to get advice from ten
ants, but some students say the advice is
not used.
For example. LGBA member Ron
Schlittler noted that the proposed family
housing eligibility requirements haven't
changed much since University Housing
Director Mike Kyster introduced them last
fall, oven though Kyster has met several
times with a committee of students and
faculty to get their input
Kyster said he has to lx> the one to make
eligibility decisions.
"I am ultimately responsible for main
taining occupancy of area housing.”
Eytter said. "Eligibility plavs a big role in
maintaining occupancy."
If the new administrative rule passes.
Eyster said he anticipates implementing
the new eligibility requirements for ten
ants moving in this fall
Students have applauded the new eli
gibility requirements for getting rid of the
marriage requirement for childless stu
dents. thereby opening family housing to
gay and lesbian couples
However, many students sav the new
requirements ojmn family housing too far
Even though the new requirements give
highest priority to students with children.
Forrest said tenants are concerned that
family housing will become filled with
single students who qualify let uuse they
have financial need.
"It will change the nature of the com
munity of family housing." Forrest said
Forrest, Schlittlor and other students
have suggested the University ret ogni/.e
domestic, partnerships in family housing
in order to weed out students who .in1 liv
ing together just as roommates
Hut Kvster and other housing offh ials
have said the University can't recognize
domestic partnerships bec ause the slate
doesn't.
Kvster has said lie's tried to preserve a
more "mature atmosphere" in lainiK
housing hv requiring tenants to lie at least
21.
But many sav this is unfair to students
under 21 who are in committed relation
ships and deserve to live in family hous
ing.
"While the University jumps out of the
frying pan of marital status dist rimma
tion. it jumps into the fire of age discrim
ination,” said Marlene l)n*sc her. (Jffu e of
