<p>It is about time for this world-class educational institution to have world-class dorms!</p>

<p>“urban-village atmosphere around “The Ave,” as University Way Northeast is known”</p>

<p>It has an urban village atmosphere right now–Third World urban village.</p>

<p>I kid. Nice plan. Does it require state approval/funding like the football stadium fiasco?</p>

<p>barrons, the article says the board will vote to authorize student fee increases to pay for the dorms. In WA, state funding is strictly reserved for sports satdiums ;)</p>

<p>I thought Tim’s Law required all fee increases to get a vote by the state. Is the UW exempt?</p>

<p>Here is the update:</p>

<p>Hmmm, you are right about Tim’s law. May be they are exempt.</p>

<p>A-ha, here come the copycats (pun intended):</p>

<p>Hate to say it…but WSU’s dorms and campus are better than UW’s.</p>
