HENDEL: The University administration shows little support for voting
(09/28/18 12:52am)
In an interview earlier this month, University President President Jim Ryan stated, “the polls are open from six in the morning until seven at night and I would hope that that would be ample time for someone to exercise the right to vote.” It’s good to see the president’s support for civic engagement, but his words betray a basic fact: the administration lacks awareness of the obstacles that students face when voting and won’t take the necessary steps to remove them.
