Actually, I've worked for a social service agency and I've seen houses worse than this where children were not removed.
Anyway, I was looking at the web site for this chapter earlier today, and there was an email address for the House Father -- where was he when the mess was growing? I could be wrong, but I'd guess that for most college aged men, cleaning the house is not a top priority. If the alumni put money into the house, as I'm assuming they have, wouldn't they check in from time to time to see how things are going with the house? Wouldn't it be more constructive for the alumni to work with the collegiates to clean up the house rather than kicking them out or deactivating them? I don't see how it's such a big deal, really.
As far as I know, the houses at Iowa are not owned by the University nor are they on University property. It looks like the issue here is with the city.
