Two-sentence explanation: All first-year students at WSU have to live in the dorm system under Washington state law. With housing spaces at a premium this year, this law could make it difficult for the university to accommodate everyone.
Evidence: WSU's dormitories are overfilled in some places and under-utilized in others. Orton's second floor is not housing university students. Waller Hall was just closed for this year. The new Global Scholars Hall is not at full functionality yet. There are students living with RAs.
Why now: More
students are expected next year than there are this year, which is
already an all-time high class enrollment. Wilmer-Davis, one of three
all-female dorms, is set to be renovated, furthering the housing crisis
in the future.
Interviews: People who don't fit the intention of the law, which is to get 18 year old freshmen living with other people. One of each of the following: a transfer student (past or current), a freshman older than 18, an RA, students with roommates, students living as a single.
