Steve:
Ask the SOU OSPIRG reps “specifically” where their money goes, or rather, request for an audit. I doubt they will give you any specific answers.

Down to two campuses, SOU and LCC. SOU has a ballot initiative every year about their funding, so a well organized campaign down there could wipe it out for good. LCC…umm…community college, need I say more?

Steve:

They don’t send money directly to the UO, but it gets here. You’d have to ask them if the student money they receive is sent to their Portland office. After it gets given to Portland administrators it is used in whatever unaccountable way, including sending two paid non-student organizers here to the UO. Since we (the students of the UO) didn’t pay these organizers salaries it is coming from somewhere and the Oregon PRIG doesn’t have very many funding sources.

This sort of unaccountability and lack of transparency with their financial matters is why they are being dropped by student governments across the state, not just at the UO.

SOU OSPIRG says it does not send money to the U of O chapter. If there is contrary evidence it puts both of them in a pickle.

…and the same reason why the media wants a successful black quarterback is the same reason why the media wanted a black President…

Power-hungry egotist is the new black, Miles.

I’m glad that Lyzi has relayed the good info about the EMU House Committee and it’s work. It shows that at least some good can come from this situation.

From my previous experience as an EMU Board member, it seems like they are taking up their challenges. That shows at least a little promise.

And Vincent, do the world a favor and grow some balls already. The “power-hungry” egotist schtick went out in 2008.

I called out OSPIRG in class one day, told them that they didn’t use their money for the students interests. He had a dirty smirk on his face and couldn’t reply. The whole class laughed at him.

If this goes on much longer consider utilizing the old Commentator plan for a raid of the Survival Center. Use of force may be the only thing left in the Commentator “toolkit”.

Ahh, OSPIGGY. Between them and Diego Hernandez, the shit stain on the fabric of this university just doesn’t seem to go away.
