Resident assistant fired

On Friday, Oct. 10, junior Miranda Ward received the news that her employment as a resident assistant was terminated.  

This came after the publication of a news story that featured Ward in the Marlin Chronicle’s last issue, which appeared on newsstands on Thursday, Oct. 9.

The issue included a news story, beginning on the front page, detailing issues regarding the compromised green roof in Smithdeal Hall. 

Ward served as resident assistant to the second floor of Smithdeal Hall, the floor which was vacated to accommodate the necessary leak and roof repairs. 

No official written cause for termination has been cited.  Several other RAs have lost their positions reportedly from policy violations this semester.

Ward declined to comment.
