Often, students feel that the [[Administration]] is able to get away with changes to student life that contradict strong student sentiment because they are able to "wait us out" -- ie, wait for us to graduate.  Indeed, many aspects of Williams College culture are challenged by the short common memory of students, and students on [[College Council]], the [[Minority Coalition]], and any student or group that wishes to effect change in student life often wish they had a body of knowledge from which they could draw an idea of precedent.
 
 
 
This page is a repository of past and present complaints, and a record of the policy changes that lead to those complaints.  As such, it is likely never to be neutral point of view (NPOV), but editors should seek inclusiveness and accuracy of fact before being concerned with consensus that something is, in fact, a grievance.  Even an editor who regards another's grievance as a positive change can still edit it for accuracy of time it took place, and what policy was actually changed.

What could students of the past expect from life here?  What did seniors of old enjoy that new underclassmen are missing?  This section is a record of short blurbs that note a '''semester''' and any past '''changes in campus policy''' that occurred then.  Ideally, the blurb should give enough of a description so that a current student will understand what changed, or, for large issues, provide a link to relevant, informative article.

This page is designed especially for you (yes, you) to be able to edit and experiment with wiki syntax to your heart's content, without having to worry about messing anything up. It is a sandbox, in which ephemeral wiki-castles can be built and then capriciously destroyed by the next editor who comes along to play. There will be precious few times in your entire life when you will be given such license to freely create and destroy, so don't waste it.
