The Board of Residents was created by the new Constitution passed in Spring 2004, as a successor to the former Inter-Residence Hall Council. The Board of Residents consists of an elected delegate from each residence hall, a member of the faculty, and the Director of Residence Life (or designate), who does not vote. The purpose of the Board of Residents is to establish all elections procedures for House Councils of residence halls/units, encourage and sponsor residential events that contribute to awareness, knowledge, and thought about contemporary issues, and make all legislation necessary and proper for residential governance.
