Educators must be careful and treat social media as a new way to com- municate with students, and not simply a new way to pontificate at them. LEGALESE Many educators consider social media a means of electronically distribut- ing homework assignments and test reviews, essentially using Facebook Opinions expressed in The Daily Texan are those of the editor, the Editorial Board Student input and Twitter as a hip way to send a version of the mass e-mails students or the writer of the article.

This practice is the educational equivalent to “shovel- the Board of Regents or the Texas Student Media Board of Operating Trustees. All ware” — distributing the same content through different means.

Much has changed over the past 37 years. Reg- istration no longer takes place in Gregory Gymna- GALLERY sium, and liberal arts and natural sciences are now separate colleges. But, the Senate of College Councils’ drive to put students above politics and stay focused on mak- ing UT a leader among public research institutions remains unchanged. The Senate also still provides an equal voice for each college and school. From social work to business, liberal arts to natural sciences, it brings together student voices on important academic issues. Whether the Senate of College Councils is host- ing fundraisers and events or passing legislation that conveys student opinion with administrators, it works tirelessly for represented students. It also still provides much-needed accountability in the realm of student representation. Since the student population’s transient nature means that most students are not here for more than four years and rarely run for re-election, the college council system combats this by meeting weekly and voting on issues and legislation that it is considering. A college council president who votes in the Sen- ate of College Councils assembly is held account- able by the other members of her council and by the students in the school she represents. For ex- ample, the Undergraduate Business Council has more than 100 members whose votes are record- ed online. If a college council president votes a certain way in the Senate of College Councils assembly, she must then face numerous students who will hold her ac- countable for the way she voted. So, it is the respon- sibility of the college council’s members to reach out to their constituents. Students are encouraged to voice their opinions to their college councils because their college councils are charged with the task of No pride for Texas education standards representing them to the highest degree.
