Anything Academics

ryaple1@ithaca.edu (Robert Yaple) — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 18:39:00 +0000

Hey All- so if anyone has any adamdeic concerns, you can definately relate those to me. Currently I am working on student evaluations of faculty and standardizing parts of them. These evaluations are read individually by the Deans and can really have an impact on the future of the professor. We have to start taking them seriously in order to voice our concerns about how we feel regarding our courses and the teacher. I am also a member of the Academic Policies Committee and hope to work on getting every professor to provide "books on reserve" in the library to save us some money. Well those are my 2 major issues currently and then i have some minor ones on the side. Basically though, I am open for anything- so have an amazing day and try not to get too stressed out (i should talk) But just remeber that you always get through it! Jill~ VP Academics

On-Campus Washing Machines

ryaple1@ithaca.edu (Robert Yaple) — Fri, 15 Sep 2006 04:20:00 +0000

As much controversy has sparked recently about on-campus washer/dryer usage, I feel it is necessary to express my views on the issue. First of all, I highly encourage everyone to write endless letters to Residential Life, and send your comments/feedback to SGA about this issue. Please let the campus authority know that this problem is not okay, and that it needs to be resolved today, not over the course of two years. The student body opinion, in great numbers is a powerful thing, lets exercise our muscles now.

As many of you may have read in the Ithacan, off-campus students continue to "exploit" on-campus students by mooching off our laundry rights. I call it a right, because on-campus students are now automatically charged $90 for laundry services, and we have the right to use the machines whenever we feel like. Off-campus students need to realize this, and pony up their own cash to use the laundry facilities. There is no way I will ever do $90 worth of laundry this semester, which only makes me more furious that off-campus students are liberally taking advantage of the situation. What I have to say to off-campus students is that, you may think it is okay to get services I paid $90 for, for free, however, you are selfishly ignoring the some 4000 students that were charged for this service already, and who recieve no compensation from you when you decide to use our laundry machines.

If you live off-campus, you are now on your own. You have your own house for a reason, because you want the freemdom and the independence. With that freedom comes major responsibility and duty, and you need to start acting like the adult homeowners that you are. You have no excuse or claim to ignorance about this issue anymore. ResLife has specifically stated that in the future you will be judicially referred for continuing to use the laundry without authorization, and with all sincerity, I will be the first one to report you.

Sincerely,
Michael J. Dunn
VP, Communications
