Following Community Advisor Emilio Mendoza's '09 termination, residents on his hall are expressing strong disagreement with Residence Life's decision.Mendoza, formerly the CA on the second floor of Usen Hall, was fired last Wednesday, he said.A request for comment by Massell Quad Director Jennifer Lelinski was answered by Dean Gendron, associate director of ResLife, who said that ResLife does not comment on personnel matters.But students on the floor said Mendoza was fired for various reasons, including not filling out a self-evaluation, missing rounds one night-CAs are obligated to circulate the quad and ensure that students are safe-not making new name signs for the rooms after winter break and not filling out other paperwork.---Mendoza said he could have been more responsible and that he understood the decision, adding "everything happens for a reason."But residents said those reasons were not enough cause for his dismissal and that he always responded to problems as they occurred."He made sure our transition was smooth; that's what we care about," said Ethan Palmer '10, who started a Facebook group in protest of the fire.
