“Sounds kind of interesting. I think if it’s going toward something beneficial for us, it’s good. I don’t have any really strong opinion about it.”

“I think that it’s interesting. It’s obviously going to bring a different point of view to students. Not knowing anything about it, I would be excited to see it come here, to learn.”

“Events like Congress [2013], if you’re a student here, you have to come up with like $300 and registration and entrance things. It leads to differential levels of participation based on your financial and social privileges at the university and not necessarily based on academic merit. So to have funding initiatives like this come to our university I think is wonderful, and hopefully it will lead to student engagement in scholarly activities.”
