Canadian student evicted after 18 years in the dorm
The University of Victoria has won the right to evict Alkis Gerd'son who has been living in a school owned dormitory room since 1991. According to the Globe and Mail of Canada, "A court decision made public yesterday upheld the university's right to evict Mr. Gerd'son." Gerd'son has admitted living at the residence for three years without taking courses, the university asserts he hasn't taken a class for credit since 1997. He completed a bachelor of arts degree in 1993 and a bachelor of education in 1997.
Ya gotta love Canada, where he has been on provincial disability benefits since 2003! The first floor room costs Gerd'son $655/month. And he isn't going to leave just cause the court ordered him to, the Globe and Mail reports, "the case is also due to go before a human-rights tribunal in June, and Mr. Gerd'son said if he does receive an eviction notice, he'll [quote] discuss that with my legal counsel."
And you thought they were making that stuff up in Real Genius.
