Commentator Files Grievance Against Gulley
The Commentator has filed a grievance today with the ASUO against Senator Nate Gulley, for his blatant conflict of interest in voting “aye” for a special request that funded a trip to a conference that he is to attend, when other Senators who are also to attend abstained. Read more about the incident in question here. Gulley’s actions exemplify all that is wrong with the culture of the ASUO: the sense of entitlement, the lack of representation, the insider sweetheart deals, the lack of ethics, and the complete disregard for rules and basic propriety. I urge Senate to move to censure Gulley, or risk being seen as complicit in activities that have no place in a democracy. Senate should punish him as they see fit, and in doing so should send a strong message that this type of behavior has no place in the ASUO, particularly when done so blatantly and shamelessly. Read the Grievance for yourself…
***UPDATE***
I had filed a “Programs Grievance,” when what I wanted to do was file a Constitutional Court petition… that has now been rectified, including personally serving Gulley with the petition. Futhermore, I have requested that Senate Ombudswoman Natalie Kinsey pursue ethical violations against Gulley, pursuant to her job description in Senate Rules 3, 3 (e) of the Green Tape Notebook.
