Count the inaccuracies
What a load of orange peels. Serves me right for talking to The Daily Cal. So one, two, here we goo!
Fourteen of the $43 would go to financial aid to alleviate the increased financial burden on low-income students.
How thoughtful. Increased financial burden on everyone else is just fine, though.
The fee would also create an online appointment-scheduling system, which proponents say would reduce wait times and increase access to Tang.
The fee will not create an online appointment-schedulings system. Read here, or just read the referendum itself.
As a result of the cuts, the referendum's failure would result in per-visit co-payments as high as $35, which students currently do not need to pay to use health services.
However, the referendum's success does not necessarily avoid these co-payments. Again, Read it here, or read the ballot.
The referendum lacks "legal teeth" and vests too much power in a biased student committee, said chemistry graduate student Justin Azadivar.
Well, I don't know how I became a chemistry graduate student. How do they conclude these things? Does it say somewhere that I'm a chemistry graduate student? I could understand if he just didn't know what department I was in, but why would he make up "chemistry"?
"It's getting harder and harder to see a physician in the city," [Steve Lustig] said. "The thought that the community can deal with health care isn't true."
Well, if the community can't deal with health care, why are we trying to pay for community health care?
Not that any of this is going to accomplish anything. The Patriot has even joined the opposition, effectively ensuring the passage of this fee. I'm just claiming my "I told you so" rights.
