For years New York University freshman have had the chance to live at Hayden Hall on Washington Square Park, and for years, they have had the chance to interact with one of NYU's most vibrant personalities: Charlie Faunde.

But now, freshman are being denied the right to be signed in and out by the famous Hayden night guard. They are unable to feel any real connection to the place they live in when they return to an uncaring security guard.

This is unacceptable, and unfair, to those who know Charlie and those who never will while he is now denied his post. We formally and forcefully request that he be removed from probation and be returned to his former, and proper, assignment in Hayden Hall.
