Dear President Pollack,

I would like to convey the Student Assembly’s 19th resolution of the year to you. This resolution requests that faculty allow greater freedom of student laptop usage in classes that require significant note-taking or online reading access.

Resolution 19 is Recommending Uniformity in Faculty Laptop Policies.

This resolution recommends that professors and instructors allow students to use laptops in lectures and discussion sections where note-taking is necessary and/or the reading materials can be accessed online. This resolution also recommends that faculty members consider individual learning experiences and have a discussion about the possible benefits of laptop use.

Thank You,

Jordan Berger
