Demand IU to do Something About these Awful Living Conditions in their Dorms


Demand IU to do Something About these Awful Living Conditions in their Dorms
The Issue
A few years ago there was a mold issue at the McNutt and Foster dorms on Indiana Unversity's campus. This is the first year after renovation, that students were allowed to live in these respective dorms again. The renovation was supposed to clean out and get rid of the mold in these dorms, but students who are currently residing in McNutt and Foster are beginning to see issues of this recurring mold. This issue of reoccurring mold has caused many students to feel ill or sick with the symptoms of sneezing, running nose, skin rase, nasal congestion, etc. There is also evidence of these molds in various pictures that residing students have taken.
This problem can only be solved by drawing attention to the matter of mold and no working air conditioning or heat. After numerous complaints about the ongoing mold issue, as well broken washers and dryers, air conditioning not working, power outages, and key card readers not working for students to get into the building, therefore these issues are making these select dorms an unsafe place to reside. After many emails, phone calls, and complaints placed online, there has been nothing done to rectify these issues.
The students residing in these dorms feel it is unfair that we are paying the same price for room and board as other students on campus. We feel that we have been inconvenienced and unheard of all year. We are at the point where something needs to be done for the health and safety of the residents. The students living in these dorms should be reimbursed a portion of their room and board for these unsafe and unhealthy living conditions.
