Resident Advisors may be affected

Being a Resident Advisor takes patience, organization, and funding from the University.

Each year, the RA’s get a budget to which they are able to organize events for their floor, spoil their residence, or simply decorate.

Next year, the budgets may be affected due to the University budget cuts.

In order to become a Resident Advisor at the University of Oklahoma, one must first take a 3-credit hour class either in the spring or fall. Once they have completed the course they are then qualified to apply for the position.

Responsibilities of a RA include being a rule enforcer in the dorms, working the front desk, and simply being there when needed for the students.

“Being an RA is a lot more difficult than I thought it would be,” said Resident Advisor, Savannah Fraid.  

Fraid says that no final word has been spoken on the budgets being affected next year and that they probably won’t find out until the summertime.

“If our budgets get cut, it won’t be the end of the world. We can just spend our money more wisely.” Fraid said.
