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.
