Editorial: Game over, Mr. President

Ballot_Box_online

The editorial board of the Express, in conjunction with dissatisfied and disappointed students and faculty, condemn the abuse of power and misrepresentation of the diverse City College population from Associated Student Government President Steve Macias. These actions merit an immediate recall and subsequent removal from office to avoid any future abuse to the ASG Constitution and its norms.

Macias has been trying to force a conservative political agenda upon student government. This is evident in an e-mail message he sent to Swtudent Affairs Commissioner Monica Guzman, where he says that Republican ASG members “need to band together and force the board to work as a unit.”

Macias has ultimately failed to comply with paragraph 8 on page 30 off the ASG Handbook that states, “Put the group above yourself. Sometimes you have to be more concerned with the greater good than your own opinions and wants. It means knowing what the ASG stands for and how to make that happen.”

On Sept. 16 and 17, Macias allowed an anti-abortion protest, the Genocide Awareness Project, on campus that stirred up debate and confrontation without ensuring his constituents were represented with opposing views. The GAP was listed in the ASG’s schedule of events for Constitution Day and was passed unanimously by ASG members.

According to Guzman, who is also up for recall, Macias was ultimately responsible for bringing the GAP on campus and earmarking them on the agenda. Many ASG members have stated that they initially thought the GAP would discuss issues like Rwanda and Darfur. However, abortion was never a topic for discussion, according to ASG Inter-club Council Commissioner La Donya Reed. Many ASG members now feel they were misled by what was presented on the agenda.

Macias has treated the governing student institution as a bully pulpit and has left no other alternative but for student voters to say, “Game over.”
