Unexpected housing delays displace freshmen during Trips

By Mary Katherine Flanigan | September 20, 2006

"Our first concern is that we don't want to put students in a building that isn't safe," Dean of Residential Life Martin Redman said of the delay, which was for safety inspections. Students on trip sections H and I who were assigned to Thomas, Goldstein and Byrne residence halls -- a total of 16 students -- were moved into the Lodge for one or two nights while their dorms were inspected according to Director of Undergraduate Housing Rachael Class-Giguere.
