College workings

So this post today will be about my thoughts on how college works from my perspective and why i believe it to be wrong.

So, it seems that at least my colleges works by making policies from the perspective of the faculty. Faculty seems to have veto power over any policy that students suggest ie through GSB (government of the student body), this seems ass backwards from how it should work.

If we take college to be a business, then college should listen to students more then faculty memebers. Students are the customers and faculty are the employees. To think that a business gives more say to its employees to me is very bad business practice.

For example of what i mean, i have a coworker who is part of GSB and is working on a policy for religious holidays not officially sponsored by the school. My coworker must get acceptance from faculty senate before this policy is accepted. IMO, i think that the faculty should have input on it but the final say should be the students. The faculty has to much power in this situation. If the faculty did not want this to be put in place then they could just say nope we aren't going to do it. Well fucking god damn't you aren't the one who gets to decide how you do your job, it is us as students who should. For we pay most of your salary.
