CINTRON: Student Council must serve all students
I vividly remember my first Student Council meeting on a Tuesday evening in early September 2o15. During the routine Community Concerns part of the meeting, the president welcomed discussion from the audience about issues facing students on Grounds. Ever an eager first-year, I immediately raised my hand and expressed my concern about the lack of physical accessibility around Old Dorms. Older members at the meeting looked around at each other, some snickering and others even rolling their eyes. One person skeptically retorted, “Can we even do anything about that?” I had no idea that the Student Council would typically disregard what seemed like an obvious obstacle to student welfare.
