The University can charge a 75% move-out fee if the move-out wasn’t for the University’s convenience, according to the University housing contract. The University followed the guidance of local and state health officials and encouraged students to go home if the students were able to do so since March 12, but the decision was not for the University’s convenience, according to Associate Director of Residential Life Catherine David.


quote:

“We believe the right thing to do is to abide by our current contract, which provides a credit for a portion of a student’s remaining rent for the semester,” David said.

If students are required to move out of the residence halls for the convenience of the University, they will be refunded the remaining prepaid rent for the agreement term, according to the University housing contract.


quote:

A March 17 Division of Strategic Communications email recognized the burden this may place on some students.

“Academic and administrative staff will try to be as understanding as possible with any students who need additional support,” the email read.


quote:

"To make services available on the first day of the semester, we have to make commitments for several months in advance and your fees go to securing those commitments, as well as covering other ongoing obligations," according to a statement on the LSU Coronavirus Updates & Information page.

Well, it certainly wasn't for the students' convenience, either

They're probably looking to get the Feds to cover it.

Sounds to me like they were charged for the time they spent in the dorm and are being refunded for the rest of the semester.

No shite you aren’t going to get the entire amount back.

Honestly, the only ones left on campus are the 20 or so fraternity/sorority peeps per house
50 international students that can't go home.
And the 70 RA's that have to stay if there is one person in the dorm.

There are also a handful of athletes that stay for the facilities, but still go home on weekends

I wish I could say I was surprised, but this is the same school that ticketed about 30 of us who created an orderly overflow commuter lot in a patch of grass on which you’re allowed to park on gameday.

I asked them what that grass majored in to only have to work six weekends a year.
