But they're so representative!
The Davis graduate student government sent a press release explaining their departure from the UCSA. I've republished it in full at Beetle Beat Extended.
The emphasis on the politics of protest in UCSA has been counterproductive, and a more balanced approach to lobbying will be of vital importance to UC students in the coming years.
While UCD GSA would have preferred to have worked in solidarity with UCSA on this, it has become apparent that the UCSA organization is too rigid to change. Those who express opinions contrary to the assumed values of the organization, both from Davis and from other campuses, are subject to retaliation. Rather than providing a chance to develop a shared vision, those who go to UCSA Congress are instead inducted into the UCSA vision. Consider Danny Montes's comments on the UCSA, and see if you can figure out where this feeling comes from.
