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.
I am not optimistic about any change in policy. "It is what it is".

However that does not make it right and rules can be improved. Does the powers to be, think, they are perfect, in everything they do?

For the people that say, "no exceptions", I will wait until something rankles them, and say, "no exceptions".

Happy New Year to everyone, and the sun came up today. Life is good!!!
