Here at Reed there has been a lot of argument recently about
how decisions involving the college community should be made.   

Although the community Constitution gives enormous powers to 
an elected Senate, made up of students and faculty, some
people feel that these decisions are being made instead by the
administration.  Examples such as the locking of dorms at 7 pm,
the removal of free phones in dorms, and interference in
disciplinary cases, are often cited by people who feel that
the administration is making decisions in areas traditionally
reserved for students and faculty.

Have any other collges or universities on the net had
similar controversies?  What degree of influence/control
do students or faculty have over the running of other
institutions?

Mail, postings, flames, all appreciated.
