Iowa State Daily: Iowa State University is considering closing its Oak-Elm Residence Hall because of a high vacancy rate in dormitories throughout campus. Peter Englin, assistant vice president of residence halls, said vacancies have been on the rise this year. “For fall 2019, we opened with over 800 vacancies,” Englin said. “We hope it improves, but we are currently trending to have over 1,500 vacancies across the system next fall. We can save over $750,000 by not operating Oak-Elm.”
