Comments and Criticism
"I'd much rather see one person do a really good job at one position than have a bunch of positions that they don't have time to fully devote themselves. In addition, the amount of time a person spends at something can vary from year to year. Take sport teams captains as an example. I've seen captains who actively recruit new players and check in on their players to see how things are going, and I've also seen captains who nobody even realizes that they were the captain because they do so little. I could also imagine an ARC chair who is very active and is trying to start new projects, or I can imagine an ARC chair that just does the bare minimum. Thus rewarding people for doing a lot less well seems like a bad idea. I'd much rather reward somebody who does one thing very well."
--Andrea Dubin
"In terms of the point system, I'd advocate for a
system where students needed to provide service either over a period of
more than one year or in more than one capacity to receive a key. For
instance, I think that no one position should be enough points to get a
key.
…
In terms of points, I guess I would say that there should be a fair
distribution between house, academic, and non-academic roles. One idea
might be to have a suggested distribution of points and then ask
students in their application if they think they should be awarded more
or less. One example may be students involved in one cultural club may
put in many hours and may do way more than a student in another club.
It could be that they see their service comparable to someone who is a
house president. Then they could justify more points if they wanted to."
