Resident turned Commuter

At this Monday's SGA meeting, it was brought up by Keaton Gillogly, Commuter Student Association Rep, that some of his friends "don't feel welcome."

The reason? Last year, they were residents, but this year they're commuters. And no matter if you were a resident one year - rules are rules. Any commuters or guests have to sign in at the Coughlin Commons desk and give their driver's license away - no matter how long they plan to be in the residence halls. While this measure is a good thing for safety and security within the residence halls, residents who become commuters - will see what commuters go through. According to Gillogly, commuters "feel segregated" when visiting their resident friends. For a 20 minute or less trip to a friend's room - you still have to sign in.
