Administration Yields to Student Demands in Housing Priority

Administration Yields to Student Demands in Housing Priority

On March 8th, residents of Commonwealth and Dominion dormitories staged a rally to protest against the proposed change. Bumgarner met with students outside the rally to answer questions they may have regarding the policy change. The next day fliers were distributed throughout the dorms urging students to make their complaints known, listing newspapers such as the Washington Post and the Broadside as well as Bumgarner's personal phone number. On March 10th, the administration reported that the plan for freshman to receive priority housing would not go into effect this year, and the discussion would instead be postponed until the 1998-1990 academic year.
