GSC passes resolution to improve Wi-Fi, approves thousands in funding for November events

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) voted to approve a joint resolution calling on the University to improve campus Wi-Fi at their Monday meeting. GSC also voted to allocate funding for First-Gen Week programming and granted full approval for funding requests towards an election night watch party for graduate students and a Diwali event. The Joint Resolution to Improve Campus Wi-Fi Accessibility and Reliability recommends that University IT (UIT) improve Wi-Fi fidelity, availability and reliability across campus. The resolution also calls on UIT to identify “problem areas” across campus as part of their effort to modernize Wi-Fi. Additionally, GSC compelled UIT to simplify the process of connecting to EduRoam and Stanford networks and assess the possibility of adding a dedicated network for students. “Inconsistent internet access and complicated device registration processes create unnecessary barriers for students,” the bill claims.
