Forums

A petition for a new forum should be sent to the Banyan Tree Policy Committee Chair. The petition should include: The proposed name of the new forum, a brief statement of purpose for a new forum, the names of at least five (5) students who support the creation of this new forum, and the name of a faculty member who agrees to sponsor and moderate the forum. In the event of faculty resignation, another faculty member would need to be identified to sponsor and moderate the forum for the forum to continue. Student-initiated forums will be open to all Banyan Tree users; there will be no access restrictions. Banyan Tree guidelines regarding open discussion, etiquette, and courtesies must be followed. The forum may be closed by the Banyan Tree Policy Committee if these guidelines are violated. The Banyan Tree Policy Committee will recommend removal of any Forum which has been inactive for 12 months.
