12 Organizations at Nevada-Reno Reject University Recognition Agreement
https://thisisreno.com/2019/01/frate...th-university/
12 organizations at the University of Nevada-Reno - including all current NPC groups on campus- have rejected to sign the university recognition agreement. One of the issues is centered around "the University’s mandate to report individual conduct concerns currently mediated through peer-to-peer chapter processes." The National Panhellenic Council issued a statement including the following: "With negotiations still outstanding on a few areas of concern, the six NPC member organizations requested an extension to the Agreement deadline in hopes of continuing discussions with the University. Unfortunately, those requests were denied. So, the sororities declined to sign the proposed Relationship Agreement for 2019. The University then declared them to be unrecognized student organizations, effective immediately." The university has issued a statement that includes the following: "As of today, a total of 12 fraternity and sorority life organizations have chosen not to sign the agreement and are unrecognized by the University, meaning they are no longer eligible for the same opportunities or resources that the campus provides to recognized organizations. Additionally, these fraternities and sororities are not obligated to follow University of Nevada, Reno policies and regulations." |
Just finished reading this story. It includes no interviews, just the official statements.
I'd love to know more. |
So what does this mean in English?

So the next #1 party school in the United States will be the University of Nevado-Reno.

This university has been trying to insert itself in private chapter business for some time.

I got this today as a member of an alumni chapter here in Nevada. Even though I have no connection to UNR, they wanted to make sure we were all informed and ready to support the women in the collegiate chapter in any way. It seems like NPC sincerely hopes it can still negotiate with the university, but right now the situation seems bleak.

Couldn't a fraternity all join a sanctioned student organization, take it over by voting their brothers into all the officer positions, and then participate in the homecoming float? Just curious. It seems like a lot of work, but it would be funny to see.
|
--or just create a Greek Life interest group "open to all students" and participate by proxy. Most schools have pretty inclusive/liberal concepts about what student organizations are.
|
Is there a reason for all this? Are there issues in the campus, or are they just being "proactive?" (This isn't the way to go about it, UNR...)

Seriously, though, things are getting absurd. I’m sick of this and glad they’re not agreeing to it. Quote:

I’m kind of appalled that the names of victims of sexual assault would be required to be given to the University. How on earth is that legal? It’s certainly not ethical.
