I've tried to stop doing this, but...
I just couldn't resist this time.
Quindel gets all the fun.
Student government leaders maintain that the referendum process is viewpoint neutral because all students can place propositions on the ballot if they collect 1,000 signatures or are approved by the ASUC Senate.
“As long as everyone has access to the process, it is equal for everyone,” said Graduate Assembly President Jessica Quindel. “We believe that viewpoint neutrality is that you can’t not fund somebody, not that you have to fund them.”
Now, I agree. But Quindel and her flunkies also seem to support affirmative action, which seems to be a vastly different argument, such as "While technically conservatives can get measures on the ballot, because they are not a majority they lack the ability to get representative funding in any real sense" or some such.
If students vote for it, it means they want it.”
It means that more than 50% of the voters want it. That's very different from "students want it."
Also in the funnies:
Assembly officials still hope to maintain financial dependence on ASUC auxiliary services, such as operational costs and revenue from the ASUC bookstore.
Quit your whining. Either you want independence or you don't. "I want to be able to spend independently, but receive free funding" doesn't wash.
