the continuing stupidity of student politics
(note: the icon is absolutely not to be taken as any sort of volunteering on my part.)
saw this in the dead-tree edition last week, but have just remembered that it's online as well. Budget errors leave Student Union facing £110,000 deficit.
that's £110,000. un-bygod-believable. i saw that headline and i was more pleased than ever that my common room voted not to affiliate. now that we have a statement from the VP (Graduates) -- who is not, by the way, a graduate student -- i'll be in a position to assure my own people that it's none of their money that's been mis-handled, because we've paid no dues.
the article is really disheartening. i'm in favor of student unions as a concept, but man, not this one. eh,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
