Public Hearing Notice
Notice is hereby given that a public hearing will be held at noon on Friday, Oct. 26, in Room 309 of the Husky Union Building (HUB) at the University of Washington, Seattle campus. The purpose of the hearing is to allow all interested persons an opportunity to present their views, either orally or in writing, on the proposed rule revisions to WAC 478156014, “Assignment Priority,” from the chapter “Rules for the University of Washington Residence Halls and Family Housing Apartments.”
The University proposes repealing WAC 478156014, “Assignment Priority,” as it restricts the University’s ability to allocate its scarce residence hall resources in a flexible manner. WAC 478156014 would be replaced by an annual plan for residence hall assignments that would allow the University the flexibility to reallocate its resources to meet current housing priorities.
Advance copies of the proposed WAC rule revisions may be obtained by contacting Rebecca Goodwin Deardorff, Director, Administrative Procedures Office, 4014 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 981056203; Campus Mail: Box 355509; or by phone at 2065439199. Copies will also be available at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to provide written comment may submit their remarks to Ms. Deardorff at the above address, by email to adminpro@u.washington.edu, or by fax to 2066166294, by Oct. 26.
