Housing  Task  Force  Recommendations  –  final     6/18/14

Category     Housing  

Issue/Concern   A)    On-­‐campus  &  near-­‐campus  housing  targets  

Research  Question  

What  portion  of  the  undergraduate  and  graduate  student  population  should  live  within  walking  distance  of  classes  (i.e.,  within  ½  mile)?  

Goals:  

  1) Establish  a  “primarily  residential”  university  campus  (see  Finding  #1).  

2) Accommodate  as  many  students  as  possible  (i.e.,  nearly  all  non-­‐local  students)  on  campus  or  within  ½  mile  in  university-­‐owned  or  university-­‐affiliated1  housing.  

Supporting  Analysis:  

Analytical  Data  

Nationally,  among  students  attending  public  colleges2:  –  40%  live  on  campus  –  40%  live  off  campus  –  20%  live  with  parents  

In  Oregon,  public  universities  average  closer  to  20%  of  students  living  on  campus.  

Findings   1) To  be  considered  a  “primarily  residential”  campus  under  the  Carnegie  Foundation  Classification  System,  25-­‐49%  of  undergraduates  must  live  on  campus.  

2) The  projected  composition  of  the  student  body  for  OSU-­‐Cascades  includes  a  high  percentage  of  non-­‐traditional  students;  these  are  older  local  residents,  including  transfers  from  COCC  and  other  colleges,  2+2  enrollees,  adult  degree-­‐completers,  and  employed  graduate  students.  With  minor  exceptions,  these  students  will  already  live  in  Central  Oregon.  This  group  will  comprise  35–40%  of  all  students.  

3) This  leaves  60-­‐65%  of  students  as  the  available  market  for  housing  on  and  near  campus.  

4) With  a  rental  vacancy  rate  below  1%,  Bend  does  not  have  housing  for  these  students.    Housing  must  be  built  for  them,  both  on  campus  and  off  campus,  to  avoid  displacing  families,  seniors,  and  younger  working  adults  who  will  otherwise  be  in  competition  with  students  for  scarce  rental  housing.  

5) The  2012  Living  on  Campus  Survey  of  institutions  operating  over  2,500  residence  halls  found  that  44%  of  campuses  lacked  sufficient  space  to  meet  demand,  which  resulted  in  overcrowding,  not  enough  housing  for  juniors  and  seniors,  and  a  “negative  impact  on  their  relationship  with  the  neighborhoods  that  are  in  close  proximity  to  the  school.”3    Supplying  adequate  and  proximate  student  housing  is  necessary  for  the  well-­‐being  of  both  students  and  the  existing  community.  

6) The  same  survey  reported  that  many  students  base  their  choice  of  college  on  the  quality  of  student  housing:    priorities  are  larger  rooms,  privacy,  and  amenities.  

7) Studies  show  a  direct  correlation  between  living  on  campus  and  academic  success.  

                                                                                                                         1  “University-­‐affiliated”  implies  housing  owned  and/or  operated  by  a  third  party  in  cooperation  with  a  defined  university  program,  such  that  the  housing,  for  example,  may  be  “certified”  for  student  use,  relevant  OSU  housing  rules  apply,  and  the  housing  is  marketed  through  the  university  directly  to  students  2  NCES,  National  Postsecondary  Student  Aid  Study,  2008.    See:    http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200801  3  “And  the  Survey  Says.”  College  Planning  &  Management,  June  2012,  p9-­‐11.    To  download  the  full  2012  College  Housing  Report,  go  to:    http://webcpm.com/research/2012/06/college-­‐housing/asset.aspx

Issue/Concern   B)    How  to  make  living  on  campus  attractive  

Research  Question  

What  market  forces,  amenities,  and  policies  promote  achieving  a  high  percentage  of  students  living  on  campus?  

Goals:  

  1) Create  a  vibrant,  dynamic  campus  that  students  want  to  be  on,  both  in  and  out  of  classes.  

2) Make  the  price  of  on-­‐campus  housing  competitive  with  off-­‐campus  options.  

Supporting  Analysis:  

Analytical  Data  

Living  on  campus  is  highly-­‐correlated  with  academic  success,  increased  retention,  higher  student  satisfaction,  and  stronger  continuing  ties  to  the  university.6  

Findings   1) Most  residential  campuses  provide  a  full  array  of  amenities,  including:    –  academic  support  (library,  study  group  rooms,  tutoring,  etc.)  –  student  services  (counseling  center,  health  center,  career  center,  etc.)  –  extracurricular  clubs  (arts,  sciences,  community  service,  etc.)  –  recreational  facilities  (performance,  fitness,  pool,  sports  fields  and  courts,  etc.)  –  living-­‐learning  communities  &  residential-­‐life  communities  

2) Achieving  a  higher  percentage  of  students  living  on  campus  correlates  with:  –  stricter  on-­‐campus  living  requirements  –  offering  a  mix  of  units  (suites,  single  rooms,  in-­‐unit  baths,  kitchens,  etc.)  –  the  availability  of  on-­‐campus  amenities  (see  Finding  #1)  –  a  shortage  of  off-­‐campus  rental  housing    –  traffic  congestion  (unpredictable  travel  times)  –  more  out-­‐of-­‐area  students  –  more  students  from  higher-­‐income  families  

3) Factors  influencing  a  lower  percentage  of  students  living  on  campus  include:  –  a  high  level  of  urban  integration  (easy  access  to  public  transit,  off-­‐campus  rentals,  and  community  amenities)  –  a  shortage  of  on-­‐campus  housing  (both  number  of  beds  and  mix  of  units)  –  old  or  poorly-­‐maintained  on-­‐campus  housing  –  much  higher  prices  for  on-­‐campus  versus  off-­‐campus  housing

Issue/Concern   C)    How  to  transition  students  to  off-­‐campus  housing  

Research  Question  

What  can  the  university  do  to  help  prepare  students  to  be  good  neighbors?  

Goals:  

  1) Promote  good  neighbor  practices  that  mitigate  impacts  on  livability  in  the  surrounding  community.  

2) Prepare  students  to  live  independently  as  responsible  members  of  the  community.  

3) Educate  landlords  on  legal  and  safety  standards  that  help  ensure  successful  experiences  in  renting  to  students.  

Supporting  Analysis:  

Analytical  Data  

Several  campuses  have  established  programs  to  orient  students  to  their  responsibilities  as  community  members  and  to  teach  them  about  the  legal  aspects  of  being  tenants.  

Findings   1) Oregon  State  University,  Portland  State  University,  Ohio  State  University,  Georgetown,  and  others  offer  model  programs  which  aim  to8:    –  help  students  and  their  families  make  well-­‐informed  decisions  about  off-­‐campus  housing  options  –  help  students  understand  their  legal  rights  and  responsibilities  when  entering  into  a  lease  agreement  –  reduce  off-­‐campus  risks  and  hazards  by  providing  students  with  information  and  strategies  that  enhance  personal  safety  and  home  security  –  lower  utility  costs  and  raise  environmental  awareness  by  promoting  sustainable  living

• Partner  with  OSU-­‐C,  City,  and  COROA  to  develop  landlord  best  practices:  –  leverage  existing  COROA  best  practices  –  City  safety  inspections  –  promote  model  lease  agreements  (e.g.,  each  resident  signs  their  own  lease  to  enable  separate  financial  liability  and  eviction;  landlord  to  pay  for  garbage  disposal  and  lawn  care)  

• Help  develop  and  implement  a  Good  Neighbor  Program:  –  every  September  –  “introduce  yourself  to  your  student  neighbor”  –  how  to  report  code  violations  to  Town/Gown  coordinator  –  recruit  students  for  NA  board  membership,  social  gatherings,  and  projects  –  help  recruit  landlords  for  “university-­‐affiliated”  preferred  rental-­‐housing  provider  program

Issue/Concern   D)    How  to  deal  with  bad  behavior  in  student-­‐occupied  housing  

Research  Question  

When  students  make  mistakes,  in  either  on-­‐  or  off-­‐campus  housing,  how  can  they  be  held  accountable  and  learn  from  their  mistakes?  

Goals:  

  1) Set  student  expectations  for  acceptable  and  appropriate  behavior  in  student-­‐occupied  housing,  both  on-­‐campus  and  in  the  community.  

2) Provide  a  mechanism  for  students  and  community  members  to  report  violations.  

Supporting  Analysis:  

Analytical  Data  

Oregon  State  University  has  a  Student  Conduct  Code  that  applies  to  all  OSU-­‐Cascades  students.9  

Findings   1) The  university  also  has  housing  policies  that  will  apply  to  students  living  on  campus.  

2) The  only  part  of  the  conduct  code  that  applies  to  off-­‐campus  housing  is  item  23:    “Violation  of  any  federal  or  state  law  or  city  or  local  ordinance  .  .  .”;  other  violations  (of  HOA  rules  or  a  lease  agreement,  for  example)  would  be  between  the  HOA  or  landlord  and  the  student,  but  would  not  involve  the  university’s  student  judicial  process.
