...online forms. However, this step only represents one more bureaucratic hurdle set up against fun. (Not to mention that printing out hundreds of PDFs a year doesn’t quite align with University Hall’s goal for a green campus.)Other than those two points, the letter of the report appears sound. But the spirit in which the administration carries out these changes will ultimately determine the effectiveness of this policy. So far, the draft has been formed in a collaborative fashion.
