The newsletter editor creates a great deal of coordination problems between various other positions in the house, and most responsibilites are duplicate efforts of other positions
Newsletter editor could be revamped to be more of a coordinating role to ensure that all of the things done by the other positions get into a newsletter which is then shared out to grads, WPI, etc. to help those other positions promote their activities and the great things done. I could also see this becoming a role and responsibility of the PR Chair making this position not needed.
@henrym497 The issue I see with this role is that all of its responsibilities are duplicate efforts of other roles (see PR, VP, Chapter Corr, Committee Heads), and duplicating the responsibilities of many different positions results in high coordination overhead. As the current newsletter editior, it is not tennable to have the position be a coordinating role, as the newsletter chair is then dependent on many other positions to fulfil any responsibilities, which is especially problematic considering most undergraduate brothers do not seem to find the newsletter valuable, and thus deprioritize communication with the newsletter editor.
As for who the responsibilites of this position fall to, I think the most obvious answer is Chapter Correspondent. As I previously stated, undergraduate brothers do not seem to find much value in (serious) newsletters, so this seems like a grad outreach problem.
