Living in Haggett Hall has made my life a living hell. I have experienced sicknesses that are unusual and unexplainable due to the asbestos and mold all over the dorm. I can visibly see mold on the walls and have even received emails from the housing administration warning me about the mold in the dorm. There is no air conditioning in this dorm which makes it extremely hard to breathe in closed quarters and I am nauseous all the time. Haggett Hall was supposed to be demolished in 2016, but due to the pandemic and the schools sole motive to make money, it was reopened as a solution to the influx of students in 2021. Health is not something you can buy, and time is not something I can buy back. The countless hours that I and others have laid awake unable to sleep in this dorm is not something money can buy. Haggett Hall is going to be taken down as a living option next year, but students should not have ever had to live here this year. It was the only alternative due to the high amount of incoming students that the school could not accommodate. Do not let students health go unnoticed. If you have experienced hardship and unusual health problems due to Haggett Hall this past year, please sign this petition. UW needs to do a better job at caring for their students. I would like to bring this problem to administration; the more signatures the better. Thank you.
