Unless...
The Daily Cal hops on the autonomy bandwagon.
Over the many years the assembly has attempted to assert autonomy, its objectives have become milder and milder. From political and economic independence a few years ago to this election's "autonomy," the language and goals have been substantially toned town.
Sadly, it is precisely this "toning down" that makes GA autonomy so impossible. While the ASUC might be willing to grant the GA autonomy, giving it partial autonomy is just stupid. Autonomy implies both independent decision-making and independent responsibility. When autonomy demands get toned down, the GA no longer seeks both of these things, and whatever autonomy is granted is one-sided and unfair to one of the parties.
