Students\u2019 Grassroots Organizing Group and administrators come to an agreement<\/p>\n

Through several meetings that took place between April 17th and April 29th, the Students\u2019 Grassroots Organizing Group and the administration were able to draw up a document outlining changes to be made to Smith\u2019s institutional structure. Their agreement was titled \u201cRepairing the Community.\u201d Concrete plans of action were included for areas of Smith that ranged from Residence Life to bias complaint procedures. Evaluations were also built into the agreement in order to verify whether progress was being made in a timely manner. Both John Connolly, acting president, and Carol Christ, incoming president, signed the document. In the Students\u2019 Grassroots Organizing Group statement in the document, students emphasized that \u201cwhile these structural changes are a step in the right direction, they will not be effective unless every individual makes a commitment to self-education and the pursuit of change.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
