The announcement says that business counselors will now be holding open office hours to answer student questions.

The man thinks this is a great because he often has trouble getting in to see a counselor.

He usually has to wait weeks for an appointment. He also thinks this new policy will solve the problem of counselor availability.

Most counselors do not work every day during the week.

Therefore, they are not always accessible each day. Now, according to the man, since they only need to be available for three days, all counselors should be available at once.

Since most students only have questions that take a few minutes to answer, he feels like these three days will be enough to handle other students.
