What are Residence Rules related to damages?

The Residence Community is a shared space, and causing damage to it is a problem for several reasons.  It inhibits fellow residents’ ability to use and enjoy the space.  Damages also cause a great deal of extra work for already extremely busy facilities staff.  Damages are costly and the costs are passed along to residents, which is harmful to them.  Finally, entering the dining hall without swiping or presenting a card constitutes theft, and also creates considerable extra costs that are passed along to residents.

Residence Rules related to damages are:
