"What are your feelings about the commercial advertisements on the scaffolding outside the GC?"

James Morrissey - Sociology

It sucks. If we’re going to have ads, I think there should be equally visible space for the concerns of CUNY students.

Enrique Bruce – Hispanic and Luzo-Brazilian Studies

It’s something I don’t like, but it might be necessary. It depends where the funds go.

Joe Sramek – History

I hate it. It’s a public university and they’re hawking private goods. I try to blur it out. It’s offensive.

John Francis – Music

I haven’t even noticed it, to tell you the truth. I don’t have a problem with ads on the scaffolding as long as it’s apparent what the building is.

Yizhou Jiang – Anthropology
I think they are REALLY pertinent to both me and the GC. The scaffolding is good to lock bikes to, but it blocks out the sun and makes the GC even more depressing. Didn’t their [scaffolding people] license expire last May?

Lisa Siegel – Liberal Studies

I feel like its just part of the city we live in. A lot of NYC is just billboards, but that’s just the way it is…
