Housing is a big problem, for both retention and recruitment of faculty and staff

Part of the problem is that what little decent housing there is (not much) is being used for AirB&Bs. Lots of faculty/staff commute from Asheville, which of course is pricy. The university is becoming proactive in creating affordable housing opportunities, working with regional organizations that do such things.

Oh are they? I wondered what Western was going to help this. It is also very expensive to build in Jackson County due to the terrain
