InterResidence Hall Association
Interhall functions as a governing body for all residence
halls and represents the student body to the Office of Housing and Residential
Education. With over 200 elected and appointed positions, Interhall provides students
with numerous opportunities for leadership experience. Interhall organizes workshops
and retreats to help student members acquire leadership skills. Each resident
pays a $3 fee per semester to cover Interhall activities.
Interhall:
- develops, plans, and executes programs and activities related to the interests
of the residents.
- receives ideas and initiates programs and activities to enhance residence
hall living.
- decides how residence hall officers are elected.
- provides for the implementation and administration of residence hall self-determination
through dormitory autonomy.
- advises the Office of Housing and Residential Education regarding policy
development and implementation, facilities, improvement, and other student preferences.
The Residence Hall Judicial Boards hear cases involving
misconduct in the residence halls as they relate to violations of dormitory
autonomy regulations and other residential concerns. Convened by an Interhall
Judicial Vice-President, the Judicial Board consists of elected judicial officers
from the residence halls. Assistant Directors serve as advisers to
the Judicial Boards. Residents who fail to abide by established rules may be
referred to the Undergraduate Student Conduct Council.
Noise Abatement Program
The Noise Abatement Program is a joint project of
Interhall and the Office of Housing and Residential Education. It encourages
residents to help maintain an atmosphere conducive to study and sleep. Through
educational programming and the use of posters, flyers, and light cues, students
are reminded of the need for quiet on residence hall floors.
(It should be noted
that large stereo systems and amplified musical instruments that produce loud
music are not welcome in residence halls. Students who choose to bring stereos
should bring modest systems, rather than "earthshakers," and must bring headphones.)
