Record Articles

The Record's coverage of housing related issues has been superb, both in the last few months and over the last few years. By all accounts, the two colleges that a) are most like Williams and b) have instituted policies similar to anchor housing are Middlebury¹¹and Bowdoin.¹²

Any reader of the CUL Report needs to closely consider what has happened at these colleges. The CUL, unfortunately, provides no discussion of the topic. It is not clear why Williams will be more successful in implementing anchor housing than Middlebury or Bowdoin has been. In fact, it seems clear to us that the typical Williams student is better off under free agency today than the typical Middlebury or Bowdoin student is under anchor housing even a decade after its implementation.
