The jokers at @calpolyhumboldt (unofficial!) sent out a press release on April Fool’s Eve. It read, in part:

President Jackson announced today a bold plan to stand in solidarity with displaced returning students. This move addresses community backlash to a previous announcement of housing policies that prioritized resources for incoming freshmen.

The President’s office on the top floor of Siemens Hall, along with those of his immediate staff, will be converted to temporary housing for returning and transfer students arriving in Fall 2023. The conversion, while largely symbolic, will make available another 14 beds along with a private lounge (with attached sauna) to the limited housing inventory on campus. “It should,” according to President Jackson, “help relieve on the concerns of students and their families about the availability of quality affordable housing in the campus area.”
