Le Chateau Co-op Converted to Grad Housing
Rowdy behavior and lawsuits have led to an end to the era of Chateau as a haven for non-traditional students (and others). From the Daily Cal article: After facing rising legal costs and plunging occupancy in the past year, Southside student cooperative Le Chateau will reopen in the fall as a graduate and re-entry student housing complex, the University Students Cooperative Association Board decided late last week.This move highlights the issue that autonomous (or semi-autonomous) organizations face in deciding how much self-policing should be done in order to prevent others from stepping in. This is the same issue that the fraternity system faces, when they have to consider whether self-policing through the Judicial Committee or other avenues is either an effective way to maintain some semblance of self rule, or else it just merely leads to pandering and students doing the universities or city's dirty work for it. It looks to me like converting Chateau to grad housing was the best deal the USCA could have got out of this.Email This Post! |
