SJSU's Academic Senate committees have seats left unfilled, as reported by the Spartan Daily. More than 40 student positions, in areas such as the student fairness committee, remain open. If you are content with minding your own business and learning under a campus dictatorship, led solely by university President Robert Caret and his cohorts, then, by all means, remain aloof to issues and policies that affect your academic success. But if you believe in democracy and you think students have something to contribute, get involved and make your voice heard. We feel that if you don't participate in campus decision making when opportunities arise, then you have no right to complain when others make a decision you don't like.
Classes are important.
Jobs are important. Planning for the future is important. So is making the best of the present and being of some service to someone other than ourselves. These are our college years. This is our school.
