9.6.2 Live-On Requirements

For sound educational reasons, a President may require students to live on campus upon review and approval by the Chancellor.


9.6.3 Presidents’ Homes

Effective September 1, 2023, no USG President will be required to live in university housing, nor shall there be presidential housing at any USG institution.


9.6.4 Employee Housing

Employees provided with housing by a USG institution shall be charged at a rate that is no less than the approved and published rate charged to students. If the facility is designated for employee housing only, then the rate for the facility shall be competitive with the rates charged for privately owned comparable quarters in the immediate area and shall be charged equally to all employees.

If lodging is provided at no charge or at a discount from the published rate, then the value of the full rent amount or discount shall be treated as additional taxable compensation to the employee. Housing provided to employees who are required to live in campus housing as a condition of employment and in the interest of the institution shall not be deemed a taxable benefit.


9.6.5 Private Housing

No private housing or attendant facilities shall be constructed on USG properties without the expressed written consent of the Board of Regents.

Agreements may be entered into between USG institutions and private housing operators to establish the terms and conditions upon which students are housed in off-campus facilities only with the approval of the Board of Regents and provided that no financial or other restricting obligations, expressed or implied, are made on the part of the institutions or the Board of Regents.
