Students react to the prospect of demolished dorms and a rejiggered campusSeptember 26, 2008· By Jessi Knowles and Ryan Gallagher |
Yesterday, Northwestern announced a tentative plan to reconfigure the Evanston campus over the next 50 years. The proposals include the destruction of several currently standing buildings. We talked to students to find out their thoughts.
Full disclosure: The video’s creators are both former residents of East Fairchild.
Jessi? Why are there mostly freshmen interviewed about changed to campus. They’ve been here for like 2 weeks, don’t think they know about the buildings being talked about. That being said – LOVE YOUR VOICE!

Agreed- freshmen were not necessarily the people to talk to for this piece. At least a diversity of grades would be helpful.
In fact, any diversity of sources would make the video stronger. It’s hard to make a broad statement like “there seems to be no clear student consensus on the framework plan just yet” when you only talked to a few students, almost all in buildings that are slotted to be torn down.
