The Brandeis student body voted against any changes to the Department of Community Living’s current system in a Feb. 9 poll, according to the Room Selection page on the DCL website. Their webpage states that “while we [DCL] thought the proposals put forth to the student body would have been beneficial, the students voted unanimously to make no changes to the room selection process.”

The announcement goes on to state that in accordance with the poll, DCL will be executing the room selection process as they have in the past. Room selection numbers will be released on March 11 for all students enrolled in housing for the next academic year.

The poll asked students to respond to two potential proposals for the housing selection process that were first released on Feb. 5 by DCL and the Student Union collaboratively.

According to the proposals’ accompanying email, they were put forward in striving for a less stressful system which would enable students to “have greater control of the system that decides [their] housing options.” DCL emailed out the poll on Feb. 9 allowing students to vote for either of the two proposals, to put forward their own proposals or to vote against any changes in the current system. The poll remained open until Feb. 12.
