The WSA takes on issues that are important for all students at Wesleyan—that's its job as a representative body. But what it doesn't often do, is advocate for students individually. As a result, students with grievances are forced to fight the administration's bureaucracy with neither assistance nor guidance.
We can—and should—change this situation. It's time that the WSA stepped up to aid individual students, not just implement institution-wide policies. When you are dealing with an issue that has wide-ranging implications for the student body, the WSA should want to hear about it.
As your Senior Class Representative, I will:
- Support the creation of a WSA board whose sole job is to represent students in conflicts with the administration.
- Increase outreach to students through electronic media, to inform students that the WSA has the resources and commitment to tackle administrative wrongs on behalf of individual students.
- Increase the promotion of WSA meetings, and encourage students to bring their grievances before the WSA and the board.
We've worked together to achieve victory. Now, let's work together for change.
