BUcking up ASUC elections

Greetings from Amsterdam. Don't ask me why I'm checking in while on vacation (hint: it rhymes with "hangover".)

I don't know whether to be happy that an ASUC group values this site as an actual forum for political discussion or disgusted at how juvenile this conversation has become. So, in an effort to star a new comment string, here's my two cents.

If Zack Liberman doesn't feel he has anything to worry about, he should be comfortable in his case before the Judicial Council and not bitching about it here. Same goes for his supporters. It's pretty blatant that some form of rule violation has occurred... something that isn't being disputed. So, if accountability and equal treatment are what BU is prescribing for the ASUC, then the party is getting a taste of its own medicine.

That being said, there is a question of the elections system and by-laws themselves. The system is not de juro set up to help major parties. But politics, especially with college students, are easier to control with larger "mass-marketed" institutions. Breaking the rules and not getting away with it is not justified here. If the folks at BU really wanted to make a difference, they would've worked hard to do things twice as hard and twice as clean as SA and CalSERVE, and then change the system from the inside.

The reality of the matter is that BU has been a sinking ship for some time. I held back on publicizing some of their multiple othere campaign violations simply to give them the benefit of the doubt. This has been a long time coming, and would've inevitably happened anyway.Email This Post!
