To be president of a university is probably a very difficult responsibility. Although there are probably a huge list of plans and changes that the president must decide upon, my top priorities would most likely be to change a few things with the attendance policy, create more parking, and fix some of the issues with the cafeteria.
One of the first things I would change would be the attendance policy. Although many classes don’t require you to be there for every lecture, some will drop your grade a letter grade and then eventually cause you to fail the course. I understand that there has to be some type of attendance policy to weed out the people that aren’t meant to be there, but this policy causes some people who may have had an A or a B in a course to fail it. I think six days would be a better number to give people. Whether or not a person is keeping up in a course should be determined by their grade and not their attendance.
Another major thing on my list would be to try to fix our parking issues. I know that we are currently working on this problem, but I’m not sure if 60 spots would be enough for all the cars of Honors and Talley. I would add at least 100 new spots in front of Honors and Talley and try to pave any unused land around the residence halls for parking. We could also use a little more light around the parking lots and surveillance cameras.
My last thing that I would want to fix would be the cafeteria. Most universities offer a lot more options for student’s to choose from. I would add more buffets and selections or even a few small fast food outlets. I would also extend the cafeteria’s hours to stay open all day and stay open later at night.
