The Ithacan

Even though administrators were willing to absorb critiques and recommendations about addressing racial inequality on campus, the response was always the same: inaction.

Rochon’s disinterest in improving the student experience has all but ensured the current climate on South Hill.

This semester, the Ithaca College administration created a discussion group to review the results of the Fall 2012 Campus Acceptance, Inclusion and Fairness Survey.

The Ithaca College community is still waiting for the release of the 2012 college-wide campus climate survey.

The Student Government Association has released the detailed results of the senate and executive board elections that took place April 17–18.

According to Dominick Recckio, current vice president of communications in the Student Government Association, 18.2 percent of the student body, 1,223 students, voted in the April 17–18 election and elected IC All That to be their SGA executive board for the 2014 academics year.

Ithaca College students elected IC All That to be the executive board of the SGA for the 2014–15 academic year, effective May 19.

Marisa Kelly, provost and vice president for educational affairs, will be leaving Ithaca College on May 31.

Senior Cedrick-Michael Simmons, president of the Student Government Association, and his Task Force on Diversity and Inclusion met with about 30 concerned students April 11 to discuss incidents of microaggressions on campus and what could be done to address them.

Currently, the members of the Ithaca College Board of Trustees are meeting in Santa Monica, Calif., and I imagine they want to know how the campus community views its experience at the college.

SGA has launched a task force to combat microaggressions and push the administration to release the results of the campus climate survey from 2012.

SGA senators unanimously opposed a proposed constitutional amendment to create a first-year student committee at the Jan. 27 meeting.
