Student Assembly

R.11 Housing Lottery Time Slots

Whereas, Section 1.1 of the Student Assembly charter states that:
1.1 Legislative Authority Over Policies
The Student Assembly (herein after referred to as the SA) will have legislative authority over the policies of the Department of Campus Life and the Office of the Dean of Students, and have the authority to review the budgets and actions of said departments.

Whereas, the assigned timeslots for the 2009 housing lottery were:
On-campus rising seniors - March 2, 4–9pm
On-campus rising juniors - March 3, 4–10pm
On-campus rising sophomores - March 4, 4–10pm & March 5, 4–10pm
Students living off campus - March 6, 4–6pm
Whereas, it is currently Cornell’s policy to guarantee on-campus housing for rising sophomores.

Be it therefore resolved, that Cornell Department of Campus Life reassign housing lottery time slots so that on-campus rising sophomores get the first set of time slots, followed by on-campus rising juniors, then followed by on-campus rising seniors, and finally followed by students living off-campus.

Be it further resolved, that this policy shall be implemented for the lottery that occurs in the Spring of 2011.

Respectfully submitted,

Nikhil J. Kumar
Minority Representative at-Large
