Research Ideas:
- What is the current problem?
- Background.  History.
* Would be a good place to interview the people who are currently 'in charge' of the problem.
- Why is this a problem?
* Does anyone else agree with you?  Polls, interviews, survey of GVSU students, faculty, etc
- What would be gained from resolving this issue?
- What is at stake if this problem is not resolved?
- What could actually be done to solve the problem?
- Look into places that have solved the problem.  This is a good space to research other colleges, campuses, situations where this problem has or could existed.
- What are the costs associated with implementing the solution?  (monetarily, space, time, etc).  In other phrasing, how is this feasible?

Brainstorm keywords for these different ideas, as well as places you could look for information/research and people you could interview.

You must use at least 4 sources in this report.  One of them should be an interview of some sort.
