On October 16, Korea University Student Association (KUSA) Jieum held a press conference regarding the halt of the Dotori Project at the People¡¯s Square. Dotori Project, an abbreviation for Dormitory Project, was propelled with the lead of Jieum under the purpose of reducing housing burdens for KU students.
The project¡¯s goal was to participate in the Happy Dormitory Service—a project that tries to provide good dormitories at a low price—run by Korea Foundation for the Promotion of Private School. However, unlike Jieum and KU students¡¯ request, KU has not registered for the Happy Dormitory Service which closed its registration on September 30.
¡°Until when are you going to stay still?¡± the press conference asked. During the latter part, it also questioned on exactly why the Dotori Project was not accepted—was it because the school itself sought to build a dormitory that was more economically advantageous?
¡°I have to say it is disappointing to know that the school is not trying to communicate,¡± said Kim Keunhee (¡¯15, Division of International Studies), who attended the press conference. The conference ended with four requests towards the school as follows: first, the school should apologize on its un-communicative behavior; second, reveal a plan on a new dormitory that has low burden on students; third, start consulting with students about the new dormitory construction; and fourth, accept the requests for construction of a dormitory for students.
