It was weeks ago that Associated Student Government Public Relations Officer Justin Turner told the Express that “there are many issues that we [the ASG] would rather be working [instead of the recall election], but if the students have spoken then we will make their voice heard.”

As of this writing, Steve Macias retains his office as president of the ASG despite a majority of the 600-plus students who turned out to vote in the recall election having decided he should be removed from office.
If that’s how the ASG makes our voice heard, maybe we should consider recalling more than just our president.

This semester has been plagued by the fight between Macias and the ASG, and both sides have been negligent in their duties to represent the interests of the student body. The Oct. 26 editorial entitled “Game over, Mr. President” detailed the disappointment the Express editorial board feels over Macias’ actions in beginning this firestorm, but as the saying goes it takes two to tango.

Macias could not have brought the Genocide Awareness Project to campus without the consent of the ASG. The fact that the agenda item Macias submitted for approval was misleading is not an excuse for the ASG at large to be let off the hook; if we can plainly see now that it’s vague and ambiguous, the ASG should have been able to see that when it was presented and should have taken the proper steps to investigate the issue then.
Passion and sex tadalafil cheap india in a relationship play a vital role to keep this harmony alive in a relationship. Erectile dysfunction is one of the most common sexual troubles as stated levitra generic usa by psychologists and doctors.

Following that GAP display, a petition was submitted to ASG for the recall of Macias and Student Affairs Commissioner Monica Guzman. Macias claimed this petition was not filed in compliance with ASG guidelines – the first indicator that he would argue the technicalities of any attempt to remove him from office. The ASG remedied the situation after the fact, but were again met with a technicality presented by Macias when they improperly set the recall dates for Oct. 21 and Oct. 22.

Having taken two large steps toward removing Macias from office and having been met twice by Macias pointing out their errors, the ASG should have learned from their mistakes and been careful to follow procedure to the letter in the recall election of Oct. and Oct. 28.

Instead, more than 600 students turned out to overwhelmingly vote that Macias and Guzman should be removed from office only to later learn that the entire election was invalid due to the fact that the ASG failed to properly post notices of the meeting at which the recall details were finalized.

Our campus has suffered under absentee leadership this semester because our president has decided that his personal views are more important than those of the students he represents, and our remaining ASG members have repeatedly failed to pick up the slack and make our voices heard.
