Freed by the Cap, Refilled by the Cohort

Auditing a Residence-Hall Laundry-Booking Cap's Wait-Time Effect Against This Year's Larger Move-In

A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement audits a residence hall laundry-booking cap's effect on the wait for a free washer across a ten-week term, split by whether a hall also absorbed this year's larger move-in cohort. Median wait falls 44% in halls whose population held steady but only 11% in halls carrying the overflow, a gap the cap's own pooled dashboard figure never surfaces.
