Housing is planning on charging Columbia students $5 for borrowing keys from the Hartley Hospitality Desk. As it stands, you would get no more than two free "borrows" a semester. Spec article: http://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2014/03/04/housing-may-charge-fee-repeated-room-lockouts

Nobody needs to be charged $5 to convince them that walking to Hartley is a pain in the ass. Nobody gets locked out on purpose, and lending out keys doesn't cost Housing anything. This fee doesn't make sense, and it is hardly in the spirit of "hospitality."
