Changes

* 1914 Library Reform: CC pushed two main 1914 Library proposals. Initially, CC tried to get the school to transform book vouchers into book reimbursements. Under that proposal, financial aid students would get the same amount of money to buy books, but would be able to use the money anywhere—as opposed to just at Water Street Books. That proposal was rejected—-or more accurately put on hold pending further review by an ad-hoc committee created by the administration to evaluate the 1914 Library-—because of concerns related to the school’s contract and relationship with Water Street Books. CC also proposed amending the school’s policy that prevents the 1914 Library from using the proceeds of sales of books in its collection that can no longer be used for classes to benefit the 1914 Library. In the past, money from those sales was just put into the school’s operating budget. Thus, the 1914 Library did not do the significant work necessary to make the sales. Under the proposal pushed by CC, the 1914 Library would be able to use that money to add to its book collection—without the school decreasing its current or future financial contributions to the library. The Provost's office agreed to change the policy. Thus, going forward, the 1914 Library will be able to sell its unneeded books and use the proceeds to purchase books for the 1914 Library collection.
