As of this semester. the math department no longer offers tutoring to students in math classes above college algebra or Math 124. This has cut off many students in difficult courses from the tutoring opportunities previously offered by the math department. Services were not cut, however, because of a lack of tutors or funding, but by a lack of space. There was simply no place to put the tutoring sessions anywhere near the Mathematics building.

Space was available on the north side of campus, but it is unreasonable for the math department to offer these services there. The tutors that make the invaluable individual aid possible are volunteers: asking them to trek across campus to provide their services is ludicrous. The math building is along the absolute south edge of campus, and no one looks forward to such a walk - even when they have to, for a class.

We have become very concerned with the problem of housing new students. However, we have seemingly neglected the problem of where students are supposed to learn.
