Original Regulations
November 19, 2018
Mizoguchi mentions that the original regulations the administration was planning to roll out were much more restrictive than the current ones presented to the school. During the week prior to the first day of school, regulations involving a near-total ban of food and beverage in the academic building were set to be implemented. However, after hearing new input and gaining more information, the administration decided to go with the current reality of much more lenient regulations.
“Where we landed and what we talked [about with the students] is different than what we initially had brought up with the staff last week,” Mizoguchi said.
Mizoguchi believes the period of change between the old regulations and the new ones could have possibly sparked rumors that the administration was essentially banning food from the academic building.
“I think that in the interim space, there was probably time for rumors to flare up, and I know students were sort of saying ‘Oh my God, I can’t ever eat in the other building,’” Mizoguchi said. “We’ve obviously walked back from that, and I think we’ve created something that’s enforceable and reasonable.”
