buchtelite the independent voice of The University of Akron
Sriker Guntuka, Grad Student | Civil Engineering “Research. We do not have enough funding for resources and this leads to a lack of proper research. Without funding, students graduate with the lack of ability to deal with real world situations.”
Kyle Costal, Senior | Sales Management “Teaching Resources. At the professor level, UA needs more funding invested in hiring the right professors who can not only teach principle, but also how to apply post graduation.”
Kayla Lucas, Freshman | Nursing “Research. In nursing for instance, you have to know what you are doing and how to apply it. Research has to be thoroughly understood, taken seriously and with precaution, and applied accurately. Because these are real lives that we are working with.”
Marlon Stevenson, Senior | Integrated Marketing Communications “Research. If you look at other universities like M.I.T., Virginia Tech, and The Ohio State University, research brings in revenue to the University, which in turn gains attention by being published and in the end. It attracts a wide and prestigious variety of students and investors.”
Christian Herold, Freshman | Nursing “Teaching Resources. Half of my professors can barely speak english. students if there was a translator or assistant to ensure students understood the material that they are paying for.”
