Free access to the IMC is essential to the creation of an equitable learning environment. As soon as any student is denied this because of such an arbitrary reason as being scheduled for a lunch period and not a study hall then the IMC has betrayed its basic purpose to provide equal access for all students. Remove the lunch passes and allow all students to sign in to the IMC without one under the quota system used currently by study hall students.

    There ought be no discrimination in the quotas of the IMC. As the 9th/10th grade students who exist in the school are more numerous than those in 11th/12th grade, they absolutely must be granted at least equal quota sizes in the IMC as those students in the higher grades. In any equitable institution, age cannot ever be a barrier to the access to resources.

    Those quotas discussed above must be made higher as to accommodate any student who wishes to enter the IMC, the place is seldom crowded aside from resource period, and many students’ ability to access those resources of the IMC is cut off by the unreasonably low quotas on all students attempting to enter the IMC.

    It must be respected that each student works best under unique conditions, some may do best in complete silence and isolation, others with some noise and others nearby, and many in between. It must be truly made so that the IMC increases in allowed volume levels as it goes farther to the back in order to ensure that every student has a place in the IMC which best maximizes their studying habits.

    The IMC only manages to crowd the hallway in its front by opening for resource at 7:30, long after many students wishing to access it have arrived. There is no observable benefit to this practice. The greatest reduction of chaos and stampeding hordes of students can only be accomplished in the reversal of this final policy.
