Occidental College Student Body

To:  The Administrative Bodies of Occidental College

In recent weeks, Occidental College has announced new housing policies. Amongst other things, it has been decided that starting with the class of 2013 all students will have to live on campus through their Junior year.

This is the latest in a long line of policies that were made without the input of students. When a policy is announced that will affect the lives of the student population, the student body should be given a role in shaping the policy.

We, the undersigned members of the student body of Occidental College, oppose this policy. We believe it is a student's right to choose whether to live on or off campus. These rights should not be rescinded due to one's class year. More importantly, as this policy will affect future students at Occidental, we demand that we are consulted before policies such as this one are implemented.

We simply ask for the following:
*A cancelation of this policy that shall force juniors to live on campus beginning with the class of 2013.
*That all future decisions that shall affect student life be presented to the student body for approval before they become college policy.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
