Maids in College?

I'm flabbergasted. No, not at the thought of some virgins on campus. (Though there was a legend at my university.  The Arts quad had statutes of the two founders seated opposite each other.  Supposedly if a virgin walked across the quad at midnight, the statutes would rise, walk to the center and bow, and then return to their seats.)

But the Post has an article on social networking and sports recruiting, focusing on a top athlete who tweets his visits to campuses and football coaches who follow his tweets.  And this sentence blew my mind:

" He wrote of being impressed that UCLA has maids cleaning dorm rooms"

Whatever happened to kids cleaning their own rooms? And if it's an athletic dormitory, how about coaches enforcing rules.
