Your registration fee includes three nights’ lodging in one of the university dorms. Each attendee will be assigned a room by the university. You may share a suite (several bedrooms with a bathroom and common area), but each attendee will have his or her own room. Each bedroom is furnished with a twin bed, desk, and dresser. Although attendees will have the opportunity to request suitemates, we cannot guarantee that your request will be granted. Each suite will be gender-specific (only same-sex attendees in a suite). The gender question on the registration site is used for assigning rooms. Beds include bed pad, pillow, pillowcase, sheets, and a blanket. One towel, washcloth, bar of soap, and cup will be provided to each participant.
Alternative Housing
If dorm living just won’t work for you, a block of rooms has been reserved at the Omni Parker House Hotel, located at 60 School Street, Boston, MA. You may make reservations by calling 1-800-THE-OMNI. Check-in time is 3:00pm and check-out time is noon. Reservations may also be made online. When making your reservation, identify yourself as a member of the American Association of University Professors and ask for the group rate of $179 per night (plus 14.45% state and local taxes, fees, and assessments). You may guarantee your reservation with a credit card or by paying for the first night. The deadline for group rate reservations is Monday, June 20, 2011. Failure to arrive on your scheduled arrival date will be considered a “No Show” and you will be charged one night’s room and tax if you do not contact the hotel. Remember to reference the group and meeting name (AAUP Summer Institute) when making your reservation to get the conference rate.
