At the first Barnard Student Government Association representative council meeting of 2013, SGA’s advisor Jessica Nuñez weighed in on last semester’s posting policy outrage and brainstormed ways to promote the constellations program. Emma Goss brings you the top five things that you should know about this week’s meeting.
Following up the fliering flare-up:Nuñez, Associate Dean for Student Life, said that the policy was revised because it caused “an egregious waste of paper” due to too what administrators thought was excessive fliering.
“I’ve never been anywhere where posting is as obnoxious as it is here and across the street,” Nuñez said, noting that some fliers are plastered one on top of the other, overcrowding bulletin boards.
“It’s not life or death---it’s just trying to be responsible as students,” she said. “I think that we need to do better.”
Nuñez stressed that administrators were not trying to censor students with the changes and said that she wants to revisit the policy to explain how it could be beneficial.
