A university President has a lot of responsibilities. He or she has to make sure the university is running smoothly, teachers are happy, and students are happy. It’s hard to please everyone; making anyone happy is a hard job. If I were a university President, I would pay for students’ textbooks, remodel all classrooms in Overstreet and Wilson Halls, and allow residents to control their own room temperature.
As everyone knows, SAU just approved a $6.5 million new Agricultural Center and Rodeo Arena. That’s great, but wouldn’t it be better to pay for students’ textbooks? I spent almost five hundred dollars on textbooks this semester. If SAU would pay for textbooks, it’s less money out of a student’s pocket and more that they have to spend. It unreal for textbooks to be over a hundred dollars. If SAU can spend $6.5 million on a building, surely it can spend money on its students. Next, I would renovate all the classrooms in Overstreet and Wilson and make them more technologically advanced. Whiteboards instead of chalkboards, projectors in every room, and laptops for every teacher. Any school should be up to date with the most recent technology. It is very obvious that Wilson and Overstreet classrooms are not up to date. With up to date technology, students learn more. They can learn how to use the technology and can sometimes find it more interesting to learn with that technology. Lastly, I would find a way for students in certain residence halls to control their own air and heat. Students in residence halls such as Bussey and Greene can’t control their own heat. I know that in Greene Hall their heat won’t get turned on until after Thanksgiving break. That’s not fair to those students. They should be able to control their own heat or air. They shouldn’t freeze in their own rooms when they’re trying to sleep or do homework.
A university President has many responsibilities. Other than making students happy, he or she has to make parents and teachers happy and that is a hard job. I would do that job by paying for students’ textbooks, remodeling the classrooms in Overstreet and Wilson Halls, and figuring out a way for residents in certain residence halls control their own air or heat.
