Spring Break
Our view: It's all about communication
DKS Editors
Issue date: 7/2/08 Section: Opinion
Of course, this proposed part of the plan to make Kent State more inclusive may not occur for some time yet. The public forums have just started. There are still plenty more issues to be discussed and brainstorming sessions to be had.
Lefton has made it clear since the beginning that the university does not have a timetable for the commission to complete its work. Discussions like these cannot be rushed. We agree.
In the meantime, broad participation is crucial for the success of the commission. It's great the university has courted student participation from groups, such as USG, Black United Students - and even the Daily Kent Stater. It shouldn't end there, though.
Participation in the commission's forums is open to all students, regardless of their involvement in campus organizations. Students, your voices are needed. Student leaders can never speak on behalf of the entire student population.
We commend the Commission on Inclusion for its progress so far. We hope more community members can add to the discussion. Now is the time to join the initiative and speak up.
The above editorial is the consensus of the Summer Kent Stater editorial board.
