WWYD-Dorm Damage Charges

[Westcoastwild]

My residence hall posted charges weekly in the lobby. This may be the first you heard of it, but don't be so sure your daughter wasn't or shouldn't have been aware. When someone damaged the drinking fountain and it had to be replaced plus the hallway re-carpeted at $135 per person you better bet I gave up her name. When I had to pay $3.70 for my portion of after hours vomit clean up in the bathroom, I knew who did it, but I just left it on my tab. If my mother were to contact anyone in residence life about the RA's job or the hours the janitor is to work I'd be mortified. I'm also sure they'd ignore her and speak to me directly about it, as I was the residence and an adult the 2 years I lived in halls.

Yep. That was my thought too! And the funny thing is that housing might not even talk to the parent about the complaint. They'd tell the parent that the kid had to formally appeal it. They're just going to write the parent that asks about the janitor's hours of fun as a Nutter.
