Story
As a former ASBSU Senator, I know how cumbersome and difficult the job is. However, I also now know how ineffective ASBSU is because of the silly politics that occur. There is more backstabbing and name calling going on than there is actual work getting done.
It seems that in the past we needed student representation because all we had were telephones and snail mail. Now, with the Internet, every student can vote on every issue if they so desire. Why don’t we stop screwing around with turn over in ASBSU and just give the vote to every student at Boise State. This would stop the lame accusations by the student body president and his buddies that it’s the students’ fault for not getting involved. He wouldn’t be able to cover up poor decision making by blaming turn over in ASBSU.
Email the budget to every student so that we can all see it and cast our vote on what we want to see happen. Stop blaming the student body for poor leadership and poor morale in your offices. We don’t have time to mess around with a bunch of meetings to figure out what color of shirts we should buy for next semester. We do however have time to cast a vote on whether we think budget increases are merited.
