[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gang up on the RA if you want your kid kicked out of housing QUICK, PP.

Then you are on your own, as you should be.[/quote]

How is telling a roommate who is having some sort of physical or mental issue to see the RA ganging up on the RA?  How does that get someone kicked out of housing?  What exactly is the RA’s job if it’s not to connect kids with physical and mental health issues with whatever services the college offers.

So, in your world, someone knocks on the RA’s door.  Says their roommate sprained their ankle and needs help, amd gets kicked out of housing QUICK. “As you should be” ????

WTAF?

Either the roommate has a sprained ankle and needs to connected whatever urgent care the campus has. Or, they have a conversion/ anxiety disorder (more likely) and need to be connected to mental health services. And/or, they have an unhappy roomate who needs help starting the roomate change process.  Minor medical emergency. Mental health issue of resident. Bad roomate.  For all three of these options, the RA should have been trained on what to do.  Even if it’s call someone else to handle it.  They are in the dorm to connect problems with solunions.  Asking them for help with problems isn’t ganging up on them. It’s asking them to do their job. [/quote]
