While the College ad board has its critics and, according to Lewis, is constantly considering ways to improve, perhaps it is the sheer number of cases that makes change happen slowly, if at all. After all, administering discipline for more than 6,000 students is a weighty and daunting task.
Lewis describes the ad board and its current system, saying, "No system is perfect, and we are constantly making small adjustments in the way things are done. But given the volume of what the Board does, the process is both effective and efficient."
