One thing I’ve learned in social work: most of us are way closer to being unhoused than we think. A job loss, medical bill, divorce, or emergency and suddenly you’re sleeping in your car. Housing insecurity isn’t about bad choices… it's about being one crisis away from losing everything.

Like most schools, the U. is unaware of what’s driving the decisions. Most of the students affected don't have criminal records, and there doesn’t appear to be any direct cause. Some of the letters list the reason as “otherwise failing to maintain status.”
