New Residence Hall Door Policy
OSWEGO, NY— Oswego Residence Life and Housing has registered a new door access policy. On-campus students are only allowed to enter their own residence hall. For students who live on campus, This has limited who can access the building, but that is just the beginning of the new policy.
“It’s just a first phase, so whether it be the student’s petition or students that have emailed, this won’t be the final change” said Shaun Crisler, Service Assistant Vice President of Residence Life and Housing. This step is to see the responses not only from students, but from the whole campus community.
Tylissa Cortis, who is currently staying at the Village responded, “Living in The Village I go from dorm to dorm to dorm with the tunnel system, so I’m less exposed to the elements when I miss the bus. Now I can’t do that.”
Residence Life and Housing is now working on the feedback and adjusting from it. Crisler is glad with the responses he’s getting, but he wants to remind everyone that not all policies are perfect. Crisler said, “Anytime you have a policy it is typically never perfect, but what you have to be open to is feedback”
