Incompetence wins again
As everyone pretty much expected, the Judicial Council ruled that the RSF was not a proponent of the RSF Fee Referendum that they sought to put on the ballot, and therefore there's nothing the Judicial Council can do. They're right, in some sense, because it's the job of the Senate and Executives to negotiate the role of the university in our elections. Of course, since the executives were the defense, in this case, they essentially saved themselves with their own incompetence.
Well, that's not quite fair. After all, because of the process by which a referendum reaches the ballot, the ASUC and the University will invariably be on the same side, so why would the ASUC try to negotiate any form of independence or autonomy in their elections? That would take standing up on principle.
