2020-2021 Residence Hall Manual 2021 - 2022 RESIDENCE HALL MANUAL Updated: August 2021 The University of Texas at Austin Housing and Dining Division of Student Affairs RESIDENCE HALL MANUAL Welcome to residential community life at The University of Texas at Austin! You are now part of a living and learning community experience that we hope will become an important component of your education at UT Austin. As a result of living on campus, students will be responsible and culturally competent community members. We want all of our residents to have a great experience living on campus. Towards that end, the university created this Residence Hall Manual to explain your rights and responsibilities as a residential community member. The rules and regulations described in this Residence Hall Manual are an integral and binding part of the Residence Hall Contract Terms and Conditions agreement you entered into in order to live in university- provided housing. As a UT Austin student and residential community member, you are required to abide by all of the university rules outlined in the General Information Catalog; this Residence Hall Manual; the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Regents of the university of Texas System; the Handbook of Operating Procedures; and all other university rules and regulations. Because of changing circumstances related to COVID-19, changes to policies and practices within this Residence Hall Manual may be required during the contract period, with which you will be required to comply. While we hope it does not become necessary, the university may discipline students who fail to abide by this Residence Hall Manual, or any other university rule, as described in the university’s Institutional Rules on Student Services and Activities from the General Information Catalog. We hope that you will find your residential community supportive and responsive to your needs; we are excited to see how you will grow and evolve during your time as a university student!

ALL UT ROTC PROGRAMS IN JEOPARDY: ROTC BUILDING TO BE TORN DOWN THIS FALL WITH NO DEFINITIVE PLANS FOR FUTURE ROTC FACILITIES RAS Hall is scheduled for demolition beginning in September of this year, only six months from now. The College of Liberal Arts will erect a new multi-story building on the RAS property to accommodate the needs of that College, excluding the NROTC and other two ROTC programs. As of this moment, there is no definitive plan for a temporary relocation on campus for the NROTC. There have been discussions, negotiations, some promises made and some, as yet, unfulfilled but no definite plans are in place at this time for the near term relocation of the NROTC. Furthermore, no definitive plans are in place for the long term relocation of the NROTC on campus. Your Board of Directors is considerably concerned about this situation and wants to do what it can to insure that the Unit is timely provided adequate facilities to carry out its mission of educating and commissioning Navy and Marine Corps officers for the defense of our country. The Board wants to do what it can to continue the traditions of excellence established over the last seventy years by our Alumni. To assist you in fully understanding the situation, correspondence with President Powers and Provost Leslie is printed in full in this edition.

  • Sharing a House but Not a Household: Extended Families and Exclusionary Zoning Forty Years After Moore
    SHARING A HOUSE BUT NOT A HOUSEHOLD: EXTENDED FAMILIES AND EXCLUSIONARY ZONING FORTY YEARS AFTER MOORE Solangel Maldonado* INTRODUCTION Moore v. City of East Cleveland1 is undeniably a victory for extended families that do not conform to the nuclear family form because the state can no longer prevent them from living together in one household. In particular, it is a victory for families of color, immigrants, and economically vulnerable families who are more likely to reside with extended family members for cultural and economic reasons. Justice Lewis Powell, writing for the plurality, recognized the American tradition of extended family members living in one household,2 and Justice William Brennan (joined by Justice Thurgood Marshall) further noted that the extended family “remains not merely still a pervasive living pattern, but under the goad of brutal economic necessity, a prominent pattern—virtually a means of survival— for large numbers of the poor and deprived minorities of our society.”3 Like most decisions, however, Moore is not without its critics. As my students point out each year, the Court’s distinction between the City of East Cleveland’s narrow definition of a family and ordinances that allow anyone who is related by blood, marriage, or adoption to live together in a single-family household4 suggests that the Moore Court would exclude de facto parents, cohabiting partners, or close friends sharing a home from its definition of family. A definition of family that requires blood, marriage, or adoption is unnecessarily narrow and is not consistent with modern conceptions of family. * Professor of Law, Seton Hall University School of Law.
