Note to ASUO: Biatch, Give Me My Money!

So, while subsidies of ASUO are busy holding us responsible for what people think of our content, the rest of those weed-smokin, booze-drinkin’ wild children in the greater student government are weaseling their way out of responsibility.
They’ve decided they might not repay the retreat funds. The learning experience is so much more important!

“Senate President James George said ASUO members wanted to focus on goals that would benefit multiple groups, such as the creation of a retreat committee and a “dos and don’ts” video…[Chris] Loschiavo said he tried not to propose punishments for the ASUO leaders and instead allowed them to create ideas to help them learn from their mistakes. “It’s never easy to come up with a punishment for yourself,” he said.”

I know, it is so hard to punish yourself! Especially for the “cocky, smooth motherfuckers” of the ASUO who are ducking responsibility for what is, undeniably, the most childish and moronic incident in student government history. I completely agree with the fan-freakin-tastic ODE editorial that so eloquently states;

“While producing a dos-and-don’ts video (hopefully not using incidental fees) and forming a committee are two great steps toward guarding against future misconduct, paying the money back is a crucial step toward making right what they did wrong in the first place. The bottom line is this: Student money that is inappropriately used should be paid back…The ASUO’s lame excuses for refusing to do the responsible thing is further evidence that they just don’t care about the student body and our dime. “

Above brilliant editorial also includes the highlight of the nasty little guestbook entry, in case anyone forgot.
