Stay at the dorms in Hawaii? Your deposit is coming

Meet director Mark Zeug of the Hawaii masters nationals reports that he’s pushing University of Hawaii officials to return the $25 cleaning deposits due several hundred masters athletes who stayed in the dorms at the meet a month ago. When I wrote him about the issue and urged him to light a fire, he replied:
“Have done so, and will be meeting with them on Tuesday to see if I can facilitate the refund process. They have told us that all dorm residents left their dorm rooms in good condition, so no one is in danger of losing their refund. Just may take a while.”

    given the poor condition of the dorm rooms at U Hawaii, I think they should have paid us $250 just to stay in them, never mind require a “cleaning deposit”. There were holes in the walls, dirty floors, leaking bathrooms, walls with paint flaking off them, not to mention the lack o a change of towesl or sheets for a 7 day stay, how on earth can they tell if we did any “damage” to that dump. And the “keys” – who can forget the keys. OTOH, the Kona Coffee Ice Cream in the cafeteria was most excellent so I guess that balances it out! And how could I forget the “rainbow colored track”, certainly that made the trip worthwhile!
