The Rest!

Joel wants to table points 13 and 14.

 

(random gallery query: has seamus been wearing the same shirt for two days? It looks like the ones that we will see later on his posters...... perhaps the guy at the store told him it was Presidentially cut?)

 

Tabling the rest of the discussion points? yes! (Which were: First Reading: Veterans and First Reading: Call the question)

 

Information Points!

President will speak on Elections (specifically: Candidates - more specifically: Candidate)

 

(Let it be NOTED: No names were used by the BOA - this blogger has substituted her best guess for the term ‘Student’ ... but she could be wrong! I do not guarantee my guess!)

 

A ‘Student’ (hereafter referred to as Marc Kelly) was arrested and now there are restrictions on his access to campus. The U of O admin can recommend that the Crown change the restrictions so that he can campaign, and Dean is concerned that it sets a dangerous precedent that he cannot participate, especially since there is ‘no proven guilt on the charge.’

 

Question for the board: Should Dean write to the university to ask that they request that the Crown relaxes Kelly’s restrictions?

 

- Lisa: wants to go in camera - she is uncomfortable discussing the Student/Kelly when we all know who we re talking about (OR DO WE?!?)

- Faris: pretty sure Kelly wouldn t want us to go in camera

- Dean: Kelly is cool with everyone knowing we re talking about this (yet, we are still using the term ‘Student’...)

 

(ps apparently shouting is illegal)

 

not going in camera - bloggers stay!

 

(people are definitely going to start peacing out soon... tick tock. it s 4:13pm)

 

Dean defines the motion

- Cam: is the individual definitely a student at the U of O?

     - Dean’s response: yes, and a member of the SFUO

- Sam: would the letter be from the BOA or SFUO?

     - Dean: would come from Dean/SFUO President on behalf of BOA

- Faris: is a letter even useful?

- Mel: when did he do his bilingualism test? if he can t be on campus when he s not in class.... illegal?  .......................... *crickets* ............... *cough.

 

*bathroom break*

 

moving to debate

- Rob: not cool with the motion, thinks the board should trust the authorities

 

Federico overreacts to Rob again...

 

- Rob resumed: actions have consequences - should respect decision

(Weird Rage Update: Cheevers is losing his shit - he does not agree with Rob and has decided to write that fact all over his face! Really! He’s going crazy over there, not being allowed to talk!!!)

- Fancie: “Listen! (yep, he really did address the board this way AGAIN, with absolutely no rebuff or comment... : |) This ‘dude’ has been treated badly, and we need to support our members - he is innocent until proven guilty.” summary: SHAME! SHAME! LOLIDARITY! (*ahem - oops! Solidarity!)

- Amy: There is a reason that the terms are negotiable. We should defend our membership, and allow him the chance to run fairly.

- Faris: thinks that the university should not interfere with our elections because they don t like the person running; thinks the university is overreaching ... (sounds a little conspiracy-theory to me, but whatever you say Faris... and stop looking at the gallery like that! you re creeping us OUT!). They are not talking about this particular individual anymore, but that the university has no right to ‘interfere’ - it is the BOA’s right to decide (I barely know what he is talking about at this point... *Shrug)

 

Sam calls the question (awesome!)

 

For some completely unintelligible reason, Federico decides that it would be a good idea to vote by roll call (FTW?!?). Why not do EVERYthing in your power to extend this meeting?!? Oh, right, because CAMPAIGNS START TODAY!

 

GACK! The vote is 13 for, 2 against, with FOURTEEN abstentions!!! So, the Motion goes back on the table until it is decided... waaaaah!

 

*end transmission on account of having to go help with the postering frenzy, but Flamenco Pirate got the end!! go check it out!*
