Welcome, One and All!

Greetings and Welcome,
This blog is open to absolutely anyone who wishes to discuss the plans and changes being announced at the University of Toledo, and offer their thoughts, ideas, suggestions, rants, and arguments in a community, dialogue-focused setting.
To join this blog as a contributor, simply create/use a GMail account - if you want anonymity in your posts, it may be a good idea to create/use an account name that is not easily tied to your identity.
This blog is associated with and run by Students for Real Student Centeredness, a student movement begun by a small group of students that is expanding rapidly, including students, faculty, staff, and administrators from diverse settings, each expressing themselves and using their voices in their own unique ways to describe their unease with aspects of the plan or its process(es), or even praising aspects of it they believe will be beneficial.
Let us see all of those ideas and comments here. Please join us, and let your voice be heard. Or if you have your own great idea about how to make sure student voices are heard, go out and do it on your own -- or ask discussants in this blog to help you! All are welcome.
Note also that we have a small site serving as a Clearing-house for information and views about the President's Address, the "ancient" White Paper, and the plans therein, located at UTVoices' Tripod Site. {It is a free site, so beware the annoying ads and popups -- maybe we'll upgrade if we gather some funds :-)}

This is What Democracy Looks Like

Thank you for opening this blog! I am curious as to how to enter in the discussion, one that I feel is a bit over my head and yet detrimental to my academic future. Perhaps here I can get my feet wet, or gain footing in the argument. OK, I'm done with the feet metaphors:)
