My son reside in Jones Hall at SU. He was among 8 SU residents fined $250 each ($2,000 total) and ordered to perform 20 hours of community service by the Director of Residential Life.
My son was told that a room inspection found “hair on the floor†of their common living area. The common area of the suite is currently being used as a hair-cutting business by one of their suite mates. The inspection had no problem with my son’s bedroom - that was in fine shape. After some discussion, Jones Hall rescinded the 20 hours of community service. However, the Director of Residential Life did not drop the $250 fine “hair on the floor†of their common living area.
I feel my son should not have to spend his time sweeping up hair for someone who is running a barbershop business in his suite. It adds insult to injury to coerce him to do so by fining him $250.
On Southern University’s website, the mission statement for Student Affairs and Residential Life is “to offer a Living and Learning Community that is conducive to academic success, cultural and social development ....†The University should live up to it’s mission.
I will not pay a fine that forces my son to clean up after someone else’s barbershop business.
