In early October, President Michael K Young and the UW Board of Regents signed off on plans that would demolish Haggett and McCarty Halls and substantially renovate McMahon. By doing so, UW will destroy the last remaining affordable on-campus housing. These dorms will replaced, much like on West Campus, with pseudo-luxury apartments that run above $1000 in rent alone, leaving poor and middle class familes with no economically feasible options. With astronomical increases in tuition over the past 10 years, placing such a burden on students and their families is obscene. We ask that the Board of Regents halt the demolition of these dorms unless adequate provisions have been put in place to ensure the affordability of their replacements.
