The Ultimate List of Shadiest People in ASUCD

[emosnail]

   In my five years of involvement in ASUCD, I have seen a lot of extremely shady antics. As I’ve mentioned before, I do not believe power corrupts, I believe power allows the already-prone-to-corruption to show themselves. There are a lot of scandals in real government, and students love to point these out - but what most people don’t realize is

My concern is that, if this is what goes on in STUDENT government, what does it say about ACTUAL government?

One can only hope that the media rout out those disreputable actions and expose them. Presumably they aren't looking quite so closely at what "kids" do in college.

An added thought: why doesn't someone follow up on what the current slate of presidential hopefuls did back when they were in college. Could be illuminating!

I've often wondered that myself. Like, I don't really care what they did as private students, but if any of them were in student government, I will scrutinize the crap out of them!

Oh man....don't make me start on those god-awful commission chairs!

Ahh, the memories. If you're giving people credit, it should be noted that I never worried about the Court being shady or making bad decisions while you were around. Hopefully the Court can remain the voice of reason in ASUCD without you around...albeit the often ignored voice of reason.

That being said, my biggest regret during my involvement in ASUCD was not just disqualifying Kareem and Natalia as soon as I found out that they were ineligible. Then the Court could have heard their appeal against the Elections Committee and the Senate wouldn't have been involved. That is...unless the Court agreed with disqualifying them and the Senate sent us all to the ASUCD Gulag.

Thats kind of ironic, because if there's one thing the Senate seemed absolutely CERTAIN of during the Unqualified Candidates Scandal it was that whatever the Court had decided would be unacceptable and must be avoided! (=

He's never actually accomplished anything shady. And is it still "shady" if he advertises himself as evil?

As I said before, the only thing more bullshit than college politics is high school politics. Fortunately, UC Davis isn't known for producing political leadership with any real power.
