This position will be relayed to constituents, administration and local media. The Daily, in its best Woodward and Bernstein headline, sets up the forum in terms of MSA divisions, in-fighting and no real change. The tone of student government failure has been set. Students' needs lose out every time. Students hear that MSA failed in keeping tuition low and continue to believe that MSA does not have any ramifications in their lives.
Students stay uninvolved, inactive and uninterested in the sordid affair of student government.
Tuition goes up without any student resistance, and administration has manufactured our consent to almost any increases by keeping the volume of student voices at a low mumble. We, the student body, fight among ourselves, and our main goals slip away. I believe that students want to believe in their student government's competence, effectiveness and ability to create positive change. However, there are too many factors which make it easy to be cynical. Students should never easily give away their rights to be cynics.
