It's demoralizing, disparaging. The Associated Students is very important. They're sensitive to anything that might appear to be encroachment of their rights. That's as it should be. That's what the A.S. should be doing.
Every group has to do what it has to do.
Sometimes we just see ourselves only as a student, only as an administrator, only as faculty, only as classified staff, only as a trustee. We lose the overall picture of ourselves as the City College community. It's something that they have to do. It's not like we have the money but don't like giving people raises. If we have the money to give salary increases, let's do it.
