"It seems like students were relieved of their ability to govern their involvement at the IOP now that the staff is running the elections," Woodruff said. "We are at the mercy of staff decision for programming and the formal role that the students have at the IOP."
But some former SAC members said they were pleased with Pryor's plan.
"I'm grateful that a resolution that includes meaningful student involvement has been reached so quickly," said Robert F. McCarthy, former chair of SAC's study groups committee.
SAC member Eugene Krupitsky '02 said that although many of the components that the students proposed in their plan were implemented, some fell by the wayside.
"We lost some of the programs that SAC used to put on," Krupitsky said. "Now it's a matter of finding out where they will fit, at least under the interim plan."
Pryor said it will be the job of the task force to find the best way to fit old roles into the new structure.
"Every now and then it's good to try something new," Pryor said. "And we're trying something new."
