Bleach is almost as cheap as water.

I was thinking the exact same thing. Most dorm rooms are 15X15 cement boxes with one wooden closet. A solution of bleach, a sponge and 10 minutes of elbow grease would solve the problem

but our education-industrial complex would rather have an army of unionized state employees take "special action" at a cost of $several million.

I would say this....having seen serious mold in a Pentagon basement work area that I was responsible for...there is marginal mold and ‘bad’ mold. Until you have it tested and the expert says the type, I wouldn’t say much.

If you have some idiots come and do a renovation project or build a dorm with leaks (bad ones), then you are inviting a continuous mold issue and it’ll have to be something you attend to for months or years.

Years ago, I lived in a cheaply built military barracks and we were going to paint the room (moving the lockers out of the way), and here was this really serious black mold situation. We used bleach and a sponge, but I’m sure within six months it came back and it was a badly constructed building.
