Last week, the N.C. State Student Senate passed “The Campus Environmental Health and Safety Act.” It’s a resolution that, among other things, calls on the university to test all campus buildings built before 1990 for PCBs. The resolution comes a little more than a year after N.C. State University closed Poe Hall due to PCB contamination. Before Poe Hall was closed, numerous former N.C. State faculty members who worked inside the facility said they were diagnosed with cancer. Taquan Newberry, N.C. State Student President Pro-Tem, joined Jeff Hamlin to discuss the student senate’s vote and what they want from university leadership.
