The questions come in the wake of publica tion of a four page report from the NYU Housing Committee which was inserted in the university's bi-we'-kly internal publica tion. The insert sets forth policy recommen dations under the guiding principal that NYU housing is \provided to faculty and staff to enhance their academic life at New York University,” the report says. “There is a lot of concern,” says Sid Georgia, president of the Washington Square Tenants Association. \It appears that anyone who lives in a building owned by this institu tion has a potential problem. Everyone has a question hanging over their tenancy.” According to NYU statistics, about 3!) per cent of the 1284 units in Washington Square Village are occupied by non-affiliated tenants. Some 847 units are inhabited by non affiliates out of the total 2,175 apartment units in Washington Square Village as well as at Silver Towers, 29 and 37 Washington Square West, Washington Mews, 7-13 Washington Square North, 6-26 East Eighth St. and 14 and 15 Washington Place. As noted in the NYU Housing Report, all of the above properties were purchased by the university between 1949 and 1965 except for the Silver Towers buildings which were con structed in 1966. As might be expected, given the growth pat tern of NYU over the years, most of the non- affiliated tenants do not easily fit into iden tifiable categories; some were tenants of the buildings at the time of purchase, some leas ed units from NYU in past years when the housing crunch for its own staff was less pro nounced, and others are former \affiliates” who remained as tenants. Given a current shortage of housing for its growing waiting list of staff and faculty, NYU appointed a Housing Committee last year to \review the current use of the University's housing supp ly” and \explore possible changes to max imize the utility of this supply,” the report ex plains, DEFINITE ABOUT RETIREDS While the resulting report, distributed throughout the buildings late last month, is not specific on the disposition of the 847 units Umersit}!
