RESIDENCE

Respect for the Residence and
Its Students & Staff
Help create a positive residence community: respect yourself, respect others, respect your
new home at Huron.
Fellow Residents
All residents are expected to respect their fellow residents at all times. Acts of Violence,
Hazing, Sexual Assault, Harassment, Discrimination or inconsiderate behaviour are not
acceptable, and will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of your
Residence Contract. (Category 2 offence, RDC, pages 64-65)
Respect for your Residence Staff
Similarly, members of the Cleaning, Maintenance, Dining Hall, Housing and Information
Desk staff, as well as Residence Life Staff are to be treated with courtesy at all times.
Failure to live up to this standard of behaviour, through the use of abusive language
or non-compliance with staff requests for example, may bring about disciplinary action up
to and including termination of Residence Contract. (Category 2 offence, RDC, pages 64-65)
Cleaning Staff
Each resident is reminded that the Cleaning staff is responsible for cleaning communal
facilities only. Room/Suite checks will be carried out by the Residence Life Staff at regular
intervals. Charges for clean-up of extraordinary waste or mess will be billed to the resident(s)
responsible if they have not completed it themselves within a reasonable length of time.
Vacuum cleaners are available on every floor and in every house and may be signed out
on a short-term basis. Residents are expected to empty their room garbage and recycling
bins in the receptacles provided in common lounges or the garbage rooms in the O’Neil/
Ridley and the garbage chutes in the Southwest residences. Students/Floors will be charged
when there is extra cleaning required for cleanup of extraordinary waste. (Category 1 offence,
RDC, pages 62-63)
Maintenance Staff
Huron has a Maintenance staff of qualified electricians, carpenters, trades workers,
plumbers and painters who work to maintain a safe living environment for students. If you
have a room maintenance request, please contact your Don. They will complete a work order
for the consideration of Maintenance personnel. Maintenance requests of a reasonable
nature will be completed within 72 hours of the submission of a work order. Occasionally,
it may be necessary for Maintenance personnel to enter your room to do the work whether
or not you are present.
Dining Hall Staff
The Huron Dining Hall Staff are an integral part of the success of residence life here
at Huron. All expectations regarding courteous conduct in residence apply within
the Dining Hall. A violation of this standard of behaviour will result in disciplinary action.
