Is this the same position Brett Rowlett had? If so, thank you for cutting it! What a waste of student dollars.

Hey, don’t steal my name “insider.” I am the only real Insider in the ASUO.

Tom got promoted, no new campus organizer will be hired.

This is good news because, in all honesty, the ASUO internship program was a joke. I interned when Axelrod canned one staffer and spent a month plus finding a new one. The interns hung out and pretended to do volunteer hours. Does this mean Tom will no longer be in the office? Or just no longer running the program? That internship had to be the easiest 3 credits I’ve mindlessly acquired since starting here. Hopefully they can liven up the power point presentations and actually get a few students working with ASUO reps.

I wouldn’t be completely unconcerned though about the HLC now picking up the slack. Instead of OSA lobbyists we could now end up with Greek Life enthusiasts which is just the other end of the spectrum. As for interns being brainwashed by the OSA? Nah, not really. If you look at the class I came out of, two of us campaigned with CFC that year and two for Emily and San.

It is unlikely that Kate Jones will run for both Chair of DFC and Senate. She has indicated interest in being Senate President, although she will graduate at the end of next year. Therefore, she won’t run for Executive.

I never bashed the ASUO for bashings sake. I’ve always believed that with the right changes, the ASUO could be better.

This is why we can’t have nice things.

I never bashed the ASUO for bashings sake. I’ve always believed that with the right changes, the ASUO could be better. Not perfect, but a little better. Criticizing is easy, but taking action like this is tough, and nobody is forcing Sam or Johnny into it. They’re doing this because it’s the right thing to do. Just like using half the overrealized fund to buy down the I-Fee is the right thing to do (if only in half-measure).

And don’t worry, there will always be things to criticize. Like my apparent inability to insert paragraph breaks into this post. And the fact that S & J are only committing half the OR fund to I-Fee buydown. And there’s OSPIRG. And benchmarks. And the new, unproven DFC. Etc, etc.

Then you criticize the idiot progressives that gum up campus.

Make sure to carry goo-gone.

Thanks for breaking precedent on ASUO-bashing, Ted.
What are we going to do next year if we can’t criticize the Executive OR slam Nate Gulley?
