Stu dents are telling me there’s a per ception that we’re tolerant of alco hol abuse and rowdy behavior.” This perception is simply not true, Eyster said, and he made sev eral major changes to reflect that. One of the biggest changes will be the addition of a full-time pro fessional conduct coordinator. To pay for the new position, Univer sity Housing will eliminate the resident director position at Riley Complex. The position will be filled by a graduate teaching fel low, supervised by the University Inn resident director. Adding a conduct coordinator will alleviate some of the pressure on resident directors that comes from the sheer number of conduct cases, Eyster said. “Right now, the resident direc tors in Hamilton and Bean are so occupied with handling conduct cases that it’s difficult for them to handle the conduct load,’’ he said. This presents a problem be cause it can take several weeks for a resident to meet with his or her resident director. “I’m hoping to greatly increase the amount of time between when an incident is committed and when it is heard,” Eyster said. “The more important effect is sort of a side effect.” The conduct coordinator posi tion will send a message to hous ing residents, he said. In another conduct policy change, Eyster decided to charge residents who have violated hous ing policy $10 per incident. Last year, conduct cases became so backed up that University Housing hired a part-timer to re view cases. Since then it investi gated the expense of processing individual cases and concluded it costs housing more than $30 to re view each incident. Eyster stopped short of charging the entire $30. “I believe that part of our job is to hear conduct cases, so I didn’t feel it was fair to charge the full amount,” he said. Housing will also make some fi nancial adjustments. Residents who live in housing will pay $5,100 to live in a standard double room, an increase of 9.7 percent over the 1997-98 bill. “Most of the expenses we incur are not related to the cost of living,” Eyster said. “It’s the condition of our buildings and our facilities that drives our rate increases. ” Minimum wage has also in creased since last year, and that ac counts for some of the increases. Despite the $5,100 cost, Eyster said he still believes housing is a good deal for the right kind of stu dent. Housing at the University will still remain one of the cheap est places to live in the Pacific-10 Conference, he said. “There’s an element of structure we provide that is good for stu dents who want some kind of re course. We’ve got a staff in place,” he said. “If you live in an apart ment, you may not have that kind of recourse.” In an effort to cut some of its con sistent financial losses, University Housing will no longer allow resi dents to break their contracts and pay $2 per unused day. Next year, students will pay $5 per day, and the following year they will pay the remainder of their contracts, which is approximately $9 per day. =lj Looking for a scholarship to support study or research abroad in 1999-2000?
