It is because declining enrollments is bleeding them and housing and dining took a huge financial hit. So from dollars and cents it makes sense for the university, I think it is probably mostly a good thing but it is definitely expensive and for those that would live at home I think it is very unfair.

initial reaction is that it sucks and seems unfair, going to hurt a lot of rental property owners, etc

but i don't think it's an unusual rule for a university to have.

do fraternities count as on-campus?

I get it too, but I also have issues with any college "taking a financial hit" these days. Tuition is still ridiculous and only climbing, so maybe they can figure something else out?

It makes sense from a dollars and cents perspective as long as there aren't too many students incentivized to go somewhere that does not require them to live on campus (KU).

Article says fraternities are among the approved exemptions for the rule.
