One of the most useful resources on ETSU is the Charles C. Sherrod Library. This historically this resource has been open 24/7 to all students to study and research in their free time, but this is now being forcefully taken from us. Starting Fall 2024, they announced to a small portion of people that despite student backlash, they would be cutting the hours of the Library to 12am with only real explanation being cost. Despite this, they're spending additional money on more security to shut down at the new time more effectively and are planning on spending additional money to make changes to other parts of the Library as well making this reason flawed at best. This is not acceptable behavior of the Dean of University Libraries or any other higher ups involved and it's clear that the only way to revert this change before it happens is to speak up and let our voices be heard.
