Students will be able to check UChicago-affiliated guests into their residence halls without preregistering them beginning March 21 at 7 a.m., Housing and Residence Life said. The change is a partial reversal of the guest policy launched last academic year.
Two resident heads told the Maroon that the University had not sufficiently communicated with Housing & Residence Life staff about immigration enforcement activity and how it might affect students.
HRL director David Hibbler told the Maroon that two resident head positions previously removed from Renee Granville-Grossman Residential Commons would also be restored next year.
Students who seek on-campus housing through winter break will now be assessed a flat $1,100 fee, regardless of duration of stay and financial aid policy, except for those deemed "housing insecure". Previously, students who were granted winter break housing could stay without additional cost.
The student, who has not been identified publicly, was placed on involuntary leave and removed from University housing on October 21, according to his lawyer.
