CCC students get busy with activities You couldn’t help but smile as you passed through the main lobby due to the amount of positive energy generated by students participating in last week’s Activities Fair on the Auburn campus. Most of the campus’ clubs were well-represented with visual displays and plenty of club officers and members available to talk to potential student recruits passing by. Among the many clubs, The Art Clubhad an interesting display which included a painted canvas on which members were actively adding the finishing paint touches.
CCC Fulton welcomes new manager
Faculty and students are still talking about a survey was sent outby the newly formed college Diversity Task Force to assess the campus d iversity climate. There was some backlashexpressed by both students and faculty over the nature of the questions asked, most questioned the ethics of the types of questions in the survey. “I feel that since the survey wasn’t mandatory, it isn’t a big deal,” said a studentwho asked not to be identified. “I understand why some people are upset, though, because people choose their school, their major, why are those questions the college’s business?” “If it’s anonymous it doesn’t really matter,” said another studentwho asked not to be identified. “They must have a purpose for asking, so why not. Some of those questions might help students.” “It seems like it was just required by the state,” said a faculty member. Many faculty members sent out reply emails with questions like “where is the data going and who will see it?” and “how will this data be used?” Some faculty said what thought could be meant as a nice sentiment,meaning--trying to eliminate discrimination and using the information to better prepare for that kind of situation, could easily be harmful.Some faculty members expressed concerns that with so few faculty members in certain departments, participants could be easily identified.Most students felt it’s harder for it to be harmfulto them, because there’s such a large number of students,it’s easier for a student to remain anonymous. The Cayuga Collegian contacted Vice President for Student Affairs Jeffrey Rosenthal for a statement and didn’t receive an answer.
