ESC Policy Initiatives
Expanding the SEAS curriculum to make Co-ops accessible to students, allowing them to take a semester off to work in areas of interest for longer periods of time, outside of summer internships
Making bathrooms more accessible for everyone, and ensuring each bathroom receives equal attention in keeping it clean to encourage people to use the bathroom they prefer to utilize
Making semesterly course requirements less rigid, permitting students to take the classes they want and need when it best fits their schedule, rather than forcing students to take several classes a semester because they will not be offered the next semester
Incentivizing students to participate in internships to count as technical requirements, allowing them to gain experience while lessening their workload during the school year should the internship be in the summer
For student groups that seek to work on similar projects, having a chair that serves to help coordinate the progress of these projects such that student groups are more successful in providing students with access to successful and beneficial events
Pushing to maximize the potential of Columbia’s sustainability initiatives and encouraging students that live on campus to participate in this effort
