Dear Cat,
Thank you for submitting Student Assembly resolution #45 for my consideration. I agree with the Assembly that the upkeep of our existing campus residential facilities and development of functional, welcoming shared spaces is important to the quality of life of our on-campus residents. I accept this resolution and note that its elements are already being implemented as part of our ongoing work to maintain residential facilities.
I have asked Vice President Lombardi to provide further information that may be of interest.
Sincerely,
Martha E.
