What is a parent’s role with a roommate conflict?
We ask parents to understand that University Housing needs to work directly with the student(s) when problems arise. It is a valuable growth opportunity for students to learn to successfully address conflicts themselves. All students involved in the conflict must be part of the conversation to find a mutually beneficial solution. University Housing staff members will not address an issue until all sides have been heard. If your student needs assistance, encourage him or her to contact the RA first, and if necessary, the Community Director.
