I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the momentum behind this request. It is not something I ever imagined would travel this far but it clearly shows how much this community cares about accountability.

I can understand the general need to renovate the Administration Building. However, the expenditure of $4.5 million on the executive offices is trivial, selfish, undemocratic, greedy, and an indication of the executive team`s indifference towards students and the spaces they use.
I have no idea how expensive it actually is to create an accomodating building. However, it is absolutely unnecessary go to such lengths to have a $150,000 staircase. I'd rather that the money go to Craigie Hall, where I'm sure the rooms and their instruments could use some of that money. As a science major. I'm loving the way EEEL and Science A (although the rotary vap machines still doesn't work) looks. Besides, I'm sure I'd get tired going in and out of a 400 sq/ft (where's the love for metric?)space
There are so many things that could have been done with that money. Especially in science A lectures where i remember an entire row of seats falling over during lecture. Tape on the chairs and the floor and tuition being so high and not to mention parking.
This matter must be looked into. Why is the U of C Board of Executives more concerned with having lavish offices then making necessary technological upgrades (wifi is terrible almost everywhere on campus) or upgrading our extremely dated lecture halls? This is ridiculous!
As an development studies major this spending is inexcusible when many of my programs are being cut and my degree is getting pushed out of the university's interest, time to switch schools I guess!
I think it the money should be used towards studenst and loans.
only one word describes this entitlement expenditure! disgusting!

When courses and services are being cut, how does the board justify this expenditure?
