T R Review of Salem college

The administration at this institution is deplorable. Living conditions: unacceptable. There's food poisoning that leads to hospital visits; there's mold, snakes, rodents, bugs, etc in the dorms; the floor in my room is bowing, no hot water, some faucets have dark water coming out, ineffective and inefficient systems of heating and air, plaster falling from ceilings, floors that can be so hot that they can melt the bottoms of shoes, etc. Programs and degrees at this school that aren't actually feasible (or really exist), INACCURATE information that's used in the museum and by admissions, such as the HISTORY OF SALEM COLLEGE, especially regarding the college's participation in slavery. Racial and prejudiced slurrs used by some students and faculty that has been left unpunished, no policy for transgender students (and the board is dragging out the decision process for building this policy), and yet-- two weeks after a peaceful sit-in, a new policy is emailed to all of the students about severe restrictions against demonstrations/protests. Students now have to "apply" to demonstrate, in designated spaces during designated times, registering the IDs of students who are participating. If anyone wants to see the documents involved in this issue, such as the call to action that was presented by the students (offering solutions to these problems), emails regarding administrative response to these events, and the document detailing the new demonstrations policy, let me know directly via email.
