#StudentPowerHU

Again, it's probably a good time to listen to students, especially those whom have carefully and thoughtfully laid out their needs and solutions. Underestimating the will of students armed with strong voices and social media platform won't end well.

As a proud HUSL grad, I am elated to see that this generation of HU students have the will to fight for the school we all love! Fight the educated fight!

I disagree that students should be a part of approving faculty hires and tenor. I think under that system, it would be difficult to attract top faculty. But I agree with most of what’s here.

It’s madness. As if an 18-22 year old is positioned to be a part of such a process. Much of that document is laughable.

This will never happen. Ridiculous to think the school would do half of this. Better off going back to occupying Wall Street

It’s not that strange. Grad students are allowed to be on search committees at plenty of universities.

That makes more sense because grad students are deeply involved in research, they are emerging experts in the fields that potential professors are also experts in. A undergraduate students doesn't have that same expertise.

What’s the difference between a first year grad student & a senior undergrad? Not much honestly. Students put lots of time, effort, and money into their educations. I dont see why they can’t be given the opportunity to be on committees cause even faculty dont always pick the best

The difference is years of research, coursework and publishing. There is a huge difference between the work required to be a successful graduate student or a PhD, and that required in undergrad.

Lots of undergrads do research. I did research my entire undergraduate career. Lots of my friends also did and got published! Give undergrads some credit.

@MadDapr let’s talk ; especially about the “one” on the second page

Check that... I would say it's about time... but the Time in which they want to address Gentrification within the Ledroit-Park/Shaw Community is extremely late. It's great that it's included... Just concerned it would be too little too late.

Agreed. TBH the entire dc is having an issue with free enterprise development vs. societal housing needs.

Some say an issue, some say there is a focused effort on behalf of certain stakeholders in the city to make an entire city of people who look a certain way, make a certain amount of money, etc.

I'll say this, as a grad student in an area related to that industry. On the one hand the city government is ran by black people...

The color of the people don't matter that much in this discussion... this is an issue of Class intersecting with Race... But that's an entirely different discussion.

Well ultimately the fact that it's so hard for blk people to escape poverty is a HUGE part of the issue.

I'm not disagreeing with you, my view is that there are Black people in positions of power that are adding to this problem. Jair Lynch isn't White.
