“Column: What are we paying for? When will student costs reflect our quality of living?”
"With these increases in the cost of all on-campus housing, we would expect housing-related issues to improve. But the mounting $1.1 billion maintenance backlog is saying otherwise. As of Thursday, there were broken elevators in Morrison, expired drinks in the vending machines in Koury and structural issues in these buildings themselves. Since it seems the additional money isn’t going to the residence halls, it must go to the housekeepers or workers, right? Nope." (Photo by Melinda Young on flickr)
