I would like to say to all of the SCC students, that no matter what they might have heard, the recall election was not because of censorship or free speech but for the following not following procedures,protocol, and the ASG Constitution and Bylaws.

For those of you that do not know anything about the ASG Constitution and Bylaws, I suggest you visit this website http://web.scc.losrios.edu/asg/.

The ASG has had maybe 2 or 3 official meetings. Meetings are deemed unofficial if they are not posted 72 hours in advance. So image that you wanted to be apart of SCC ASG, because you wanted to make changes on the campus and make a difference for the entire student body, but everything you wanted to do does not get done simply because the agenda is not posted. Not posting the agenda is a violation of the Brown Act.

Although the posting of the agenda stops most of the boards duties to the student population, ASG members have been going above and beyond to do their job duties.

I feel that if Steve Macias, was truly here to support the student body, why hasn’t he addressed student concerns and issues when they come into our office? Why hasn’t he made an apology to those students that were harrassed and/or threatened when the GAP group and the group of people who helped distribute his no to recall flyers? Where is he now? Why was no agenda posted again for the ASG meeting that is supposed to take place this week? These reasons and many more are why students called for the recall of Macias.

I would like to apologize to my fellow SCC Students, faculty, staff, for all the turmoil that our campus is experiencing.

I would personally like to thank my fellow ASG board members and other SCC students, faculty, staff for all their hard work and patience and continuing to do their job throughout this ordeal.
