Another proposal was to comp fees on the executive courses for active duty military who are guests of a resident. It was also denied. The reason was that making a special allowance for one group opens the doors for other "deserving" groups to request accommodation. I believe making an accommodation to allow non-residents who are in a relationship with a resident access to facilities would likely fall into the same category.

I understand the concern and the apparent disparity, but my experience leads me to believe change will be very difficult.
That makes sense.
