…fuck the ASUC…
I just got my new pair of glasses and I’m still trying to get accustomed to them. You know that feeling of contorted reality you get when you’ve just put on a new pair of prescription lenses? Well, yeah, that’s what I’m going through now…
I know I’m a bit overdue on this, but I needed some cooling down time before I could sit down and write about the whole ASUC ordeal, that and I’m procrastinating a little longer from working on my final research paper for my ES 103A class…
So I’ve been working with the twLF/Ethnic Studies Collective for quite some time now, specifically focusing on the multicultural center aspect of it all. It all came to a head this past week. Our bill in support of a multicultural center and MOU was sent into committee on Monday, and I wound up spending 4+ hours arguing with the Student Action senators over why it was absolutely despicable that they were amending a bill that they were legally not allowed to amend. Long story short, we lost and all that time that I spent in committee was merely a foreshadowing of what would go down on Wednesday…
On Wednesday, it was AMAZING! So many people from our different communities came out and worked together as a real family! I can’t even begin to describe the pride I felt, nor the beauty that I saw that night. It really was a rainbow coalition and I’m so incredibly grateful that I was able to share in that experience. The ASUC (read Student Action Senators) were all assholes and posers. I’m sure most of you already knew that, but it baffles me how they are able to survive as a human being given the fact that they lack a moral conscience altogether. They’re all automatons, lemmings–all led by BCR-type racist idiots and pricks. As elected representatives, they have the obligation to represent their constituencies, but they failed to do that–they failed miserably. I’m thoroughly ashamed at our student government. They have used the name of students to legitimize their oligarchical control and I cannot believe that so many will stand by and allow such an injustice and crime to occur. I want so much to go into detail about what transpired that night, but it’s so difficult because it went on for so long, and so much happened that night. The ASUC is a joke, and I sincerely hope that the university puts them in their place. As a student, the ASUC does NOT represent me, nor do I believe that it represents any other student. I would not be surprised if the university yanks their autonomy, in fact, I’d be all in favor of it because there certainly isn’t anywhere to go but up from here. FUCK THE ASUC! They’ll get what’s coming to them!
more later…
