Stanford’s Graduate Student Council approved a joint resolution calling for improved campus Wi-Fi at its Monday meeting, The Stanford Daily reported. The resolution asks University IT to identify problem areas and simplify connections to campus networks.
University IT’s own reporting page says a multiyear Wi-Fi modernization effort is underway and provides a way to report weak Wi-Fi or cellular coverage. The council’s resolution calls for wider promotion of that reporting tool.
The council also approved funding for November events, including a joint $3,000 First-Gen Week allocation and $8,000 for a Stanford India Association Diwali event. The Wi-Fi measure is a student-government request, not a guarantee that every network problem has been fixed.
