Add/Drop Abuses
Students are abusing the class enrollment system by reregistering for a high number of classes and then later “shopping around” for the teachers they like and dropping the other classes Associated Students President James Poet said. This is muddling the funding for classes because the university allocates funds based upon enrollment. It also negatively affects the availability of classes for other students Poet said.
Update on Louie’s
Poet said that there would be an upcoming meeting for himself, Louie’s Pub representatives and university administrators to clarify the facts surrounding Modern Space and the fate of the Pub.
“I think there’s are a lot of rumors flying around that are inaccurate,” Poet said.
