Why was Fair Oaks Walk established?
Cal Poly Pomona is in a high-cost housing area, and it is difficult for many Cal Poly Pomona faculty and employees to afford ownership housing near the Cal Poly Pomona campus. These circumstances make it more difficult for Cal Poly Pomona to recruit and retain faculty and employees, especially with respect to those in nationally recruited positions, such as faculty who could select a job at another institution in a location where housing is more affordable. Also, keeping employees near the Cal Poly Pomona campus fosters a sense of community and participation in Cal Poly Pomona activities.
