Federal health agencies have linked mold exposure to a plethora of health issues. Yet mold in college housing remains one of the least-discussed student health issues on American campuses. Too often, mold in college housing is dismissed as little more than a maintenance issue rather than the public health concern it can become. As a result, a dorm’s indoor air quality or mold exposure as a culprit for health hazards is often overlooked, delaying both recognition of the problem and action. Institutions cannot claim to prioritize student health while treating mold as an insignificant facilities problem.
