What is a trustee? And why does Western have a board of them? We hit the streets to see if Western students know the answer. We also talk with campus news editor Ryan Morris, who attended a recent Board of Trustees meeting and actually knows what they do.  

Also in this episode: water rights in the Nooksack River basin and a concerning manuscript with antisemitic imagery that was left on campus. You can find the articles discussed in this episode on our website: westernfrontonline.com.
