Students are understandably concerned with the recent administrative decisions that will severely curtail and possibly destroy existing student life. Raising tuition, severely cutting the budget to prefrosh weekend, eliminating student parking to make way for staff, tearing down the current student houses--just a few of the things that I've heard about. As far as I know, they've never asked the student opinion on this. I doubt the paper pushers even considered cutting funding to their own department. And God forbid cutting research money.
What exactly are they trying to do, dispose of the undergraduate program altogether?
Techers are generally an apathetic lot. The majority don't vote in the annual student elections let alone attempt to run for office. They don't go to class if they think they can learn it better on their own. If their presence is not going to affect the general outcome, why bother going?
But this is something people really should care about. I hope a lot of people will participate in the "sit-in" tomorrow afternoon.
I've added the decoder section today, a hodge podge list of every day things. Also I've noticed that Blogback is no longer accepting new users. I guess I'm glad I found it before November 16.
