Off-Campus Students Need Keycard Access Too

Letters to the Editors

By Josh Powell

To the editors:

I was pleased to read Matthew Glazer’s criticism of the lack of 24-hour universal keycard access (Op-Ed, “Locking Students Out,” March 2). I was, however, disappointed that he failed to mention that undergraduates who live off campus have no keycard access whatsoever, not even for their affiliate house. Although there are only a few students in this position, it is an unfortunate one. The College seems to be suggesting that unless you pay room and board, you are not welcome to participate in College life. Yard universal keycard access and 24-hour universal keycard access seem like trifling issues to those of us who are always locked out.
