"Set aside your politics and make a responsible decision." - Ted Horton, speaking in favour of the threshold being 2/3 for hearing an appeal.

I'm sorry, but politics have EVERYTHING to do with a decision like this. The BOA is a political board. Every person has their own political agenda and by no means are board members neutral.
There is a reason why the constitution asks for board members to be almost unanimously in agreement. It's not to cheat students out of a rightful appeal or just to be a dick. It's to ensure that people aren't treated differently just because they have friends in high places. SAC is far more impartial than the board and I think that needs to be respected.
The original raison-d'être of this blog was to liveblog the Board of Administration meetings and let students know about all of the crazy shit that goes down.
However, the promise of iPods influenced us to stray from this path for a bit to cover the 2009 SFUO elections. Since then, we've been covering a bit of everything SFUO-related.

Completely agree, Amanda!
