Emily Frank’s response to my letter in the Daily Illini
I appreciate Emily’s response (http://bit.ly/3inYm) to my letter in the Daily Illini (http://bit.ly/1uZudn) , but I’d love to know— what vested interest does she have in defending Housing’s utterly pitiful response to Thursday’s flood?
She’s not a housing resident (as she mentioned in her letter) and lives in a house. Frank can in no way compare her situation to our situation at Allen. Living in a house means that the resident is responsible for most maintenance issues. Living in University Housing means that the University is responsible for all maintenance issues.
ALLEN HALL UPDATE- 8/29/09 @ 1:32 AM
It’s 1:32 AM and I presume most of my friends are hitting up Sammy, ZBT, and AEPi… I got back from an enjoyable evening at Hillel and Chabad and…alas… the situation in my hall hasn’t changed. The “carpet dryers” are still stationed in the same places, the carpet is soaking wet, and the stench of mold has only gotten worse. I’ve put in emails to University Housing to no avail. Given that we’re paying such a high rate to live in Allen Hall, shouldn’t we be receiving services comparable to those at Illini Tower or Bromley?
Obviously not in the view of the University of Illinois.
What happened at Allen Hall?
The scene in ground south soon after the waters began rushing in
Hi! I’m a political science major living in Allen Hall (and am a freshman). I look forward to blogging about what I think is right and wrong with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. First off… what happened at Allen Hall last night?
It seemed to be an idyllic evening for me- no homework, no reading, and no studying. I was even able to spend a few enjoyable minutes camped out in the CRCE hot tub. The rain came, and us carefree college students enjoyed a moment of uncomplicated bliss splashing around in the four inch puddle that was beginning to form. Where would those puddles go you might ask? All of the residents of ground south and the staff members in the Unit One hallway would soon find out.
