Elected CPUC members must answer for their egregious dereliction of duty

While many University members have a legitimate interest in a policy like this one, it is a dereliction of duty to allow administrators to propose an excessively vague and general policy, and then give them extremely wide latitude to interpret it.

An empty dining room.

The University is selling the dining changes as a win. Don’t fall for it.

The revision serves as a distraction from the concerns of independents. Worse, it demonstrates that the University is content to ignore student voices.

U. axes academic calendar, will require individual faculty to determine course schedules

Gordin and Shandley noted that abolishing the calendar would provide undergraduates with greater flexibility, building on the final assessment reforms implemented in Spring 2025. “Following the resounding success of the abolition of Dean’s Date, we have decided the best path forward is to eliminate the University-wide academic calendar altogether,” said Gordin.

Eisgruber eats at Olives. Why can’t I?

I’m sure that when the responsible University administrators see Eisgruber walking from Nassau Hall to Olives, they do not think, “what a pitiable, isolated person who is struggling with food access.” If only they would apply the same respect to our decisions and ability to care for ourselves, too.

Didn’t draw into your residential college? This rule says you probably can’t next year, either.

Rising seniors who apply to their college’s draw receive an additional 0.1 points to their draw weight for every year they’ve lived in their college, ensuring that those who successfully drew in in their junior year get priority. The University must abolish this unreasonable rule to restore fairness to the room draw process.

Leave microeconomics alone!

Though an introductory microeconomics course like the one SPIA requires cannot hope to address diverse topics like law, healthcare, agriculture, and the environment, what ECO 100 succeeds in is that it provides the foundations for in-depth analysis of these complex, important, and policy-relevant problems.
