Why building damage is an important community issue?

Building damage is a community issue for multiple reasons: 1. If no one is found guilty, the entire floor/dorm has to split the damage costs equally 2. Threatens the safety of people living in the dorms and makes people feel scared of certain areas of the dorm. 3. Causes maintenance crews to spend valuable time fixing things that should not have been broken in the first place. Crews should be spending time upgrading our campuses rather then fixing things that were already nicely put in place.

Why it is important to come forward when building damage is caused?

It is important to come forward when building damage is caused because: 1. If you don’t come forward, everyone in the entire dorm will get hit with a fee for something they had nothing to do. For example, if you break a washer and don’t come forward, everyone will have to pay for a new washer even if they haven’t even used that specific washer before. 2. Also, if you don’t come forward you will always have that monkey on your back that you caused people to pay for something they never did. 3. If you don’t come forward, eventually evidence can arise that you broke the specific object. Your punishment will be significantly worse and your reputation will be destroyed.
Community billing charges and procedures

To expand upon building charges and procedures: 1. Once a situation arises, everyone involved will be processed and given a chance to state their side of the story. For example, the person who committed the crime will make their statements, while the witnesses will also come forward and state exactly what they saw in the specific situation. 2. Once all possible information is gathered and observed in full capacity the RDs of the building will come out with a statement illustrating who will be paying for the door, along with a series of other punishments. 3. The one excused will pay for the damage through direct payment or they can choose to get the bill added to their tuition (Student Account) at the end of the given semester.
