Our group topic for the CCM project is based around the placement of toilet
paper and hand towels in all washrooms on campus. As international students,
when arriving in Malaysia it was one of the things that we recognized as a
problem.
If this were to be implemented on campus, we think that this would result in
much cleaner washroom facilities. When entering most washrooms on campus the
level of cleanliness is always rather low as there seems to always be an
abundance of water and dirt on the floors and counters. Using the water hoses
that are provided in the washrooms on campus seems to be an unsanitary way of
using the facilities, while placing toilet paper in each washroom can cut down
on water usage and reduce the spread of germs. We think that there should also
be hand towels (paper towels) and soaps in all bathrooms in order to be clean
and limit the amount of mud and water on the floors.
We will take pictures of the current facilities on campus and compare them with
washrooms in the area that do provide toilet paper, hand towels, and soaps in
their washrooms. We will also interview international students and local
students in an attempt at hearing what their opinions are on the issue. We can
also administer surveys and provide handouts which outline the benefits of
providing these materials in washrooms on campus.
