RHA/USG
CWRUnet Task Force
From A Student Perspective
An analysis and criticism of the current status of Case Western Reserve University’s campus network.
The CWRUnet Task Force came about as the result of collaboration between the
CWRU Residence Hall Association (RHA) and the Undergraduate Student Government
(USG), two organizations that represent the concerns and interests of students
on and off the CWRU campus. There has always been some dissatisfaction with some
elements of Information Services’ policy, but the conditions have only recently
become favorable for a unified effort to present with one voice the
student perspective on the situation.
Abstract
The purpose of this document is to present a unified viewpoint, from the
students’ perspective, of the current status of Case Western Reserve University’s
campus communications network. Currently, the campus network (CWRUnet) seems to
be having difficulty meeting students’ needs. Considering the reliance this
University and its curriculum have on CWRUnet, frequent crashes, poor customer
service, and minimal end-user input are problems that need to be corrected. If
left unchecked, these problems will invalidate the network’s place at Case
Western Reserve University. The purpose of this committee, and more importantly
this document, is therefore to act as a force of change, helping the administration
provide the necessary services in a successful manner, while adequately meeting
the students’ needs.
