I would be particularly interested in hearing from colleagues who are
responsible for managing student accommodation. I am currently involved
in reviewing our RESIDENT STAFF ADVISER job description, which
translates at many institutions as Hall Warden, or Academic Warden.
We have 800 students resident on campus, supported by five RSA staff
who perform academic or support staff duties during the day. To date,
our RSA staff have fulfilled a support/guidance-type role but we are
considering revising their role to incorporate more managerial type
aspects such as student discipline, room key distribution, interviewing
students who wish to withdraw etc. They are also likely to be major
players in the Institution's procedures for dealing with major emergencies
on campus, business recovery planning, meningitis procedures etc etc.
It would be reasonable to re-name the job RESIDENT HALL MANAGER in
the light of proposed changes. I appreciate the enormous diversity of this
role at Institutions across the country, but if any of the above sounds
familiar to you, and you have a job description and/or terms and
conditions which you would be willing to share, I would like to hear from
you. I am happy to offer more detailed information on our own job
structures on a reciprocal basis.
