Recommendation for the Automatic Enforcement of a 24-Hour Visitation Policy Autumn Lamphier JeredKubicek Lynn Lawrence Karen Ross Prepared for the Residence Hall Association, Texas Tech University
WHOis the proposal for? • Residence Hall Association • Voice of all students who live within the residence halls at Texas Tech • Sets up visitation voting procedures for students • Promote leadership within the halls • Provides programs and activities to enhance the on-campus living environment
WHATis the policy? • Every year, each residence hall at Texas Tech conducts a vote that decides the visitation policy for that year. • 2/3 of the residents in a hall must vote • There are four options to choose from • Option 1: Sunday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – Midnight; Friday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. • Option 2: Sunday – Saturday, 11 a.m. – 2 a.m. • Option 3: Sunday – Thursday, 11 a.m. – 2 a.m.; Friday – Saturday, 24 hours • Option 4: Sunday – Saturday, 24 hours
WHYis RHA in need of a solution? • Currently RHA is responsible for conducting and counting the vote each year. • They feel that this process is time consuming and unnecessary. • Therefore, we are suggesting an automatic 24-hour visitation policy.
HOWwe came to our conclusion. • 24-hour visitation was passed by every residence hall from 2005-2008. • In almost every case it was by more than 90%. • There has been a problem getting at least 2/3 of the residents to vote. • The most important thing about having a vote is giving the students a voice.
