Room Draw 2007...and the future

As many of you know, earlier this year the SGA distributed a survey to all students and from its results and conversations with administrators put together a recommendation for President Liebowitz regarding the future of Room Draw. Fundamentally, the proposal suggested opening up the process for Seniors so aren't restricted by their Commons affiliation. While the Room Draw process for 2007 (this year) won't change, President Liebowitz, in an email today to all students, wrote that he has accepted the "spriit of the recomendation, which will take effect next spring." From the email:

beginning next spring (2008), room draw will include some kind of open draw for seniors, based on a lottery system, which will give seniors from all five Commons equal access to College housing.

President Liebowitz and his staff will continue to engage this issue over the next months, and there is still plenty of opportunity for students to get involved in the process. Email Dean Spears with any comments you might have and check your inboxes for updates about upcoming open meetings on residential life.
