Due to the outbreak of Covid-19, SFSU Housing urged its residents to leave the premises as quickly as they were able, resulting in the mass evacuation of most of the dorm's residences. The large majority of residents are thus not receiving the housing or dining services that we paid for/are being charged for.

Residents cannot and should not be held accountable for taking such a course of action, given the state of the pandemic and the reported presence of confirmed Covid-19 cases on campus, and most especially given that we were told to leave the premises by the University itself. Thus, residents should not be charged for these services that we are not receiving.

Additionally, SFSU Housing has said themselves that we should rely on word from the University to return to our residences. However, the University has made clear their intention to completely lock down the school. SFSU Housing has also made clear that a forced relocation of all residents is very real possibility.

As a dorm resident speaking on behalf of all other dorm residents, we demand that that charges paid to SFSU Housing during this time of pandemic, quarantine, and social distancing be dropped, and that any money paid for these months away be refunded to the students who paid it. We are, as a whole, already struggling with our finances in this pandemic. Our money should not be poured into services that we are not receiving and circumstances that are not what we were promised upon signing our agreement into the residence. It is the only right and just course of action that Housing can take during these times under such circumstances.
