The current plan is an inevitable result of multiple failed attempts to fix the Cloyne problem, and to deny that Cloyne is a problem is offensive. That being said, the Clones deserve time to process this plan and understand the full breadth of it, even if I believe the must be carried out fully for the welfare of Cloyne and the whole BSC.

It's really sad to see personal selfishness and irresponsibility masquerade as a social cause dedicated to self abuse. The reality is that without liability insurance, the BSC would cease to exist and then there would no decent low-income housing for students who otherwise could not afford a Berkeley education.

As a former house manager and Clone, I am troubled that this is the only proposed course of action for Cloyne. Cloyne is a community within the larger Berkeley community. It fosters friendships, family, and a welcome living space. For three years, Cloyne was my home and I can honestly say I would not be the successful individual I am today if not for my friends and family at Cloyne. Cloyne is suck.

The BSC needs to stop making everything so secretive. We as members of this non-profit deserve to know what's going on and be part of the decision. That so much different information is being tossed makes us feel like the BSC is lying to us and trying to purposefully keep us in the dark. This is less about Cloyne as it is about the BSC's right to decide without consulting the members of our COOPERATIVE.

I'm not certain what the best course is for Cloyne but I am certain this feels like another major change that's being railroaded through without input (very similar to the fines money grab).

Even if I were convinced such changes were necessary, reacting swiftly and drastically to such situations yields bad policy through a discourse of fear.

I used to live there in college. There are maybe 10 percent of individuals that are problematic but everyone else gets to use the freedom to experience a great lifestyle. Why do we always have to pay for the irresponsibility of others? Save Cloyne!

I am a philosophy major at West Virginia University and from the research I have done regarding Cloyne Court, it seems to be an experience that teaches students things more important and more profound than the theorems and facts they learn in the classroom. Cloyne is an education in humanism. It teaches people to be better people in terms of cooperating with others, developing deep relationships, taking responsibility not only for themselves but for the community, and perhaps most importantly being mindful of future generations to come and people whom they will never meet. They plant trees and build decks so that those who come after may enjoy them and want to pay it forward to those who come after them. In these ways and many others Cloyne is creating better people, better people that this world direly needs. Though I have never experienced Cloyne Court and never will, I am profoundly disheartened to think future students will be deprived of the amazing and unique opportunity to grow as people that Cloyne Court provides.
