<p>I thought the more interesting part was the issue of the way the matter was decided – that is, the complaint seems to be that the college admission issued a decree without opportunity for student input or comment. </p>
<p>I think I posted this before (but maybe not): my observation and experience has been that the relationship between students and their colleges administrators plays a significant role in campus life and the college experience – so the perception that rules are being handed down in an arbitrary way would tend to indicate a certain level of discontent --but as it is only a single issue, it’s hard to say. There was an issue a few years back about Barnard’s recognition of Columbia sororities, and that one went through months of debate and a student vote. See <a href=“Year in Review: Barnard SGA votes to recognize sororities - Columbia Spectator”>http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2011/05/07/year-review-barnard-sga-votes-recognize-sororities</a></p>
<p>So the discussion might be as much about process as about the issues being determined. </p>
