Statement of Residential Rights, Responsibility and Accountability
Manhattanville College seeks to provide an atmosphere that supports growth and learning. The residence hall is an integral part of the student's academic experience. It is where intellectual stimulation continues and where students, either alone or in groups, study. The services and programs of residential life enhance faculty-student ties beyond the classroom; assure the individual rights, well-being, and dignity of others; promote understanding and respect among all people; and foster the opportunity to make lasting friendships. The residence halls are communities where students take responsibility for their environment. The College respects the right of privacy and is committed to protecting that right in order to ensure the safety and security of all residents. However, College officials have the right to enter any room at any time when deemed necessary.
