 The second reason for the removal was that its purpose had been served and it was no longer effective.  The rule was created in the 1980s when East Campus first became an undergraduate residence hall.  The 5-person highrise suites with a double (later to be known as Exclusion Suites) were highly unpopular.  In order to create an incentive for students to live in these suites, the Exclusion Rule was created so that rising sophomores could occupy the otherwise unwanted double in each suite.  However, since EC is now the most popular residence hall, the need for the rule is no longer present.  Groups consisting of 3 seniors and 2 sophomores will still occupy the majority of the exclusion suites--they will just do so with a point value of 22 instead of 30.

-If you want to try to get an ECX suite, you can invoke the rule during registration (and not later). Only the top 3 <u>point values</u> of the 5-member group will be averaged to calculate the group <u>point value</u>. However, the group will then only be able to pick an EC high-rise 5-person suite. If all of these are gone by the time the group shows up for their appointment time, the group will automatically drop to General Selection. If the group chose to stay together in such an event, each individual will receive a <u>point value</u> equivalent to the sum of the 5 <u>point values</u> divided by 5. E.g., 30+30+30+10+10 / 5 = 110 / 5 = 22. If the group chose to disband in the event of dropping to General Selection, each individual will receive their class <u>point value</u>, either 10, 20, or 30. Groups invoking this rule can have a maximum of 2 Barnard students, and their points will not count.
+Once upon a time, groups could invoke the EC exclusion rule, which allowed groups that were attempting to live in an EC Exclusion suite to drop (exclude) the lowest two point values from their group, thus raising their point value.  This meant that ECX suites usually only went to groups of three seniors and two sophomores (thus having an ECX group pt value of 30).

	Most ECX suites are occupied by 3 seniors or juniors in the singles and 2 sophomores in the double. Occasionally 1 or 2 juniors live in the double because they desperately want to live in a suite rather than [[Broadway Residence Hall\|Broadway]], [[Schapiro Hall\|Schapiro]] or [[Wien Hall\|Wien]]. Even more rarely, a group of 5 seniors will take an ECX suite either in suite selection or [[senior regroup]]. Thus, 2 seniors end up in an ECX double. Most seniors find this highly undesirable because the double is only 173 sq ft. By comparison, some seniors live in ''singles'' of 170 sq ft.

Suite members will recruit two Hillel members to live in the double of an exclusion suite. The following year, the group applies for same-suite selection, thus retaining the suite, and find two new group suite members to live in the double. This system ensures that interested Hillel members will be able to avoid the disasters of sophomore and junior housing by retaining EC suites and passing them on to new members as they graduate.
