Vanderbilt has elected to not allow Returner's Rights to Sophomores living in residential colleges this year. As a class that has already faced the debacle of the infamous "Flip" and entered Vanderbilt during the peak of COVID-19, we have already been through enough. Residential colleges are suppose to be a place where individuals find community for several years. The basis behind Returner's Policy is that we are allowed to remain in these community so that we can steadily build upon what we have created. In fact, Vanderbilt states on their site for residential colleges (https://www.vanderbilt.edu/residentialcolleges/) that residential colleges are meant for "promoting the development of intellect, COMMUNITY, personal well-being, self-discovery, and personal awareness." (Vanderbilt) However, their choice to discontinue Returner's Policy for us shows that they are not concerned about our community that we have built. It is blatantly obvious that Vanderbilt has little care for the Class of 2024 and this is just another example of how they have continued to disregard our college experience. Why should Sophomores have to go through another housing lottery and not be granted the Returner's Rights that have been granted to residents for years on end?
