Despite the growing demand for more space to support increasing numbers of student organizations, UR administration seems to have other plans.
Campus Times recently investigated the increasingly limited meeting space offerings for student-run clubs, only to uncover a shocking secret. The administration is using gated rooms in Spurrier and Todd Union for the cultivation of high-quality recreational marijuana.
To investigate this crucial community matter further, Campus Times decided to interview faculty members involved.
In an email correspondence with a professor who would like to remain anonymous, they defended the need for marijuana exclusively for faculty due to stress-related concerns. “I’m finna crash out…” Professor Matthew McKinley of the Biology Department revealed this later in an email thread.
While faculty seem to be feeling high, club morale is at an all-time low. Sophomore brothers Rodrigo and Pablo Santaro have wanted to make their Brazilian dance club officially recognized by the school for a year now. “We have repeatedly been told that ‘space is unavailable’ or that admin is waiting for more ‘details’ on ‘crop rotation,’” Rodrigo Santaro said.
Campus Times reached out to the Wilson Common Students Activities office for an interview, but the office was unavailable. A staff member noted, “The office is currently in a very important meeting with several members of the faculty, all of whom are ‘deep in thought.’”
