Hearing on DAAP Lawsuit This Friday

*** Update ***: Upon checking the case docket of the judge assigned to the lawsuit, the hearing has been cancelled. The case was apparently thrown out earlier this afternoon by the judge. This was probably the best possible outcome for the ASUC and the university.

While it once seems that this issue might have faded away, it turns out that the case was simply boggled down in the traffic of the Northern California District. DAAP v. ASUC will be heard this Friday at 9 AM in the Federal Courthouse in San Francisco. Plaintiffs are seeking a summary judgment in the case, in which they request a declaration of affirmation and reimbursement of legal fees, which could cost the ASUC upwards of $43,000.

It seems that if Senator Felarca truely believed that she was elected to help the student union and accomplish her goals, then she would have dropped her suit and attempted reform from within. Instead, she has taken a course of potential embarassment for herself and the university.Email This Post!
