Stayin’ Alive: Eckstein/Taylor Executive in the Clear

In an unsurprising turn of events, the ASUO Constitution Court decided Friday that they cannot—or will not, rather—remove Ben and Katie from office.

It’s finally official. The ASUO Executive can literally get away with anything.

The Commentator would like to officially congratulate Ben Eckstein and Katie Taylor for the utter devoid of punishment they have received after maintaining a year’s worth of unremitting, unsurpassed cunning and deceit.

The crux of the Court’s decision is below, and you can read the entire decision here.

 Without much more than circumstantial evidence,

this Court simply lacks any persuasive basis with which

to reach a factual conclusion of the Respondent’s intent.

While the Court could speculate as to the Respondent’s

intent, it is the Petitioner’s burden to produce such

evidence. Therefore, this Court cannot conclude that

the Respondents committed an egregious violation

because there is insufficient proof of the Respondent’s

intent in committing the fraudulent act.
