Student housing questions
Does anyone know of a Brother who is in the student housing business somewhere? A question has crossed my desk regarding a "reasonable accomodation" for a student at a university and I really am stumped for an answer. I'm hoping that we have someone somewhere who will spend ten minutes on the phone with me.
Thanks |
What state John?

Student Housing Question
John - is your question related to reasonable accomodation for a student who may be qualified for reasonable accomodation as a result of a short term or long term physical or mental condition. Then the question of what state, and the nature and ownership of the housing will matter. Some more details please.

For next year the University is saying no dice on that. NAU is enjoying a massive increase in enrollment andthey are short of dorm space for they want everyone to be in a double. |

John, I really do not understand this question. If the individual is willing to pay for a double room then what seems to be the problem? The Un. wants money for the space and he is paying for it, so where is the problem? Not knowing the full extent of his problems are medication available to help him? Isn't there a "Government Agency" that would cover a situation such as this? I know, a lot of questions but I am very interested in a situation like this. Good luck. |

In this case the University wants bodies in rooms, not dollars in pockets. A kid with a single keeps another kid out of a dorm room. This is a balancing act betwen a "reasonable accomodation" for a disabled student and the need of a non-disabled student for a bed in a dorm. |
That seems like a reasonable accomodation to me, but what do I know.

That is a good question and what about medication for the problem?:confused: Hell, I am living alone and that doesn't mean I do not want people around? If He was physically disabled that may be a difference. But having a friend roomie should always be good I hope. |
John, I will help out with anything you need me to. Although I am limited, if you point me in a legal direction I can help out.
Just out of curiousity, he has depression and anxiety and has in the past been allowed to live by himself in a double? Why can't he just live in a single by himself? Is there a medical condition where he needs to have the extra room? |

If it affects the ability to engage in daily tasks and he's under some sort of medical treatment then he likely qualifies for some sort of an accomodation. Whenther allowing him to be the sole occupant of a double dorm room (even though he's paying for two spaces) is reasonable is the question. |

He has been allowed to live in the double dorm room by himself, paying the goingrate for two spaces for his first two years, but they are balking at year three. Apparently the anxiety issue drives the need for a single, the ability to go someplace and close the door and not be disturbed. |
