“The undergraduate student government at Drew University is looking for answers from the school’s president on the potential sale and development of a portion of the Drew Forest preserve.

The elected body representing Drew’s College of Liberal Arts made several “demands” of President Thomas Schwarz in a resolution dated Wednesday, Feb. 23, stating that unclear communications from the university “have caused confusion, and the transparency of decisions made in regards to the sale of the Drew Forest and the impacts therefore mentioned will directly affect the Drew community.”
