Ms. Wilson has explicitly stated that the club leaves open its option to damage property, provided members have agreed on such action. But, this is inconsistent with the requirements of officially recognized student organizations. This method of damaging property alienates mainstream students from the issues SAS, Amnesty, SAD and others are fighting. Our purpose should be education, not damage of property. The fact is we are at a large, public university where we have problems of tuition, overcrowded classes and students in this time are very practical and want to graduate and get a paying job.
Human rights is the least of their concerns.
ASUA which fights for student issues like tuition is voted in by less than 10 percent of the student population. The fact is SAS is way ahead of its time. To pint where many former senators laughed as if SAS members were standup comedians making up stories of labor violations. Whenever the economy is very good in the nation, fewer and fewer people care about current events. Protest boards should be dropped for educational forums, workshops and seminars.
