Remarks | |
Whereas | Many majors require specific computer programs to complete class assignments; |
Whereas | The majority of these programs are only available at certain places on campus, none of which are open 24 hours a day; |
Whereas | If a student cannot complete these assignments before the computer labs close and they don't possess a laptop or lack the means to purchase the expensive software packages on their own, then they are rendered unable to complete their assignments; |
Whereas | The Central Library is open 24 hours a day and the computers on the fifth floor are controlled by OIT; |
Whereas | No student should be denied the tools that they require to succeed. |
Be It Further Resolved That | The primary programs utilized by various majors (Photoshop, SPSS, etc.) which currently are only available on lab computers be made available on the fifth floor of the Central Library. |
