To the Office of Residence Life: My name is Brian Israel. Next year, I will be a second-year law student and a first-year Assistant Rector (AR) in Knott Hall. I write this open letter in hopes you will reconsider student involvement in your method for hiring rectors. Throughout the vetting process for Assistant Rectors, I
