In response to the coronavirus outbreak, the University of Texas at Arlington will conduct online instruction for the remainder of the spring semester. UTA has strongly encouraged students to leave campus for the semester and has closed many on-campus student resources.

Many students have left campus out of fear for their health and safety. However, these students are still required to pay for on-campus housing and are not eligible for early termination of their lease agreements. Many of these students are unable to work due to the coronavirus pandemic. It is unfair to deny early termination to students in on-campus housing during this national emergency.

Resolution: Allow early termination of housing leases or provide housing reimbursements for students living in on-campus apartments and residence halls such as Timberbrook, Meadow Run, Arlington Hall, Vandergriff Hall, and all other on-campus housing facilities.
