If I were president of SAU, I would make a few changes. The first project I would work on would be to renovate some of the residence halls. Most of the residence halls are in pretty bad condition. They are too small and have problems such as leaky roofs. I would work to make the halls more appealing and comfortable to live in. Another thing I would add is lighting. The walking trail that circles the campus is almost completely dark at night, so I would have lights put on the farm road and around the Village area. I would also add lights to other areas of campus, such as the area around Talley and Honors halls for example. This area is dark at night, especially for people walking from the science building to these residence halls. One last thing that I would add would be more security. There are a few emergency phones around the Reynold’s parking lot but I would put more around the other areas of campus. This would increase the security on campus and make the students feel safer.
Another important thing that I would do as President of SAU would be to get rid of tenure, or at least change it’s policies. I don’t know from personal experience but I have heard of professors taking advantage of tenure. Some professors may not teach to their full abilities because they no longer have to impress anyone. I don’t think tenure is a bad idea, but I would watch the professors with tenure closely, and I would change the policy so that I could revoke a professor’s tenure if I felt it was necessary. Most importantly as president, I would keep an open door policy and would help students and faculty in the best way that I could. I would want the people in the university to feel that I was approachable and not be scared to come to me with their problems.
