SGA does not equal congress. You are slowing the progress of our University because of personal issues with certain SGA members...that much is apparent.

There it is Juice...we know why you appealed. I'd personally like to thank you for holding up our university advancement.

You've got to look at the costs. This is the wrong issue. This isn't DR...he couldn't care less. This is Jim King's deal and he's one of the few that works his butt off trying to improve Tech. In...

This SGA will have new leadership soon. I understand the desire to make a point...I believe this is the WRONG issue to USE to make that point.

It's pretty easy actually. Do away with BS appeals and Tech would've improved despite the SGA...but no. One would think y'all think SGA can do whatever they want...they are a mouthpeice/a...

I think your problem is with SGA as a whole. I think that's what you need to address, not this particular motion.

But, it's done. And, it will be upheld (hopefully).

Key statement bolded...

This isn't the supreme court. They are not setting precedent or changing by-laws. You are not improving the SGA, you are delaying progress.

This isn't about doing it right...this is about your personal beef with certain SGA members.

This motion passed by 1000 votes (with 1200 voters). All you are doing is political grandstanding and...

Feels more like a junior high power struggle to me.

Your self-serving appeal is at the heart of this matter. Why not address it?

I'm certainly disheartened that your ill-will for the SGA could have negative effects on University advancement. ...

So, for the sake of politics, you're going to jeopardize something that you fully admit Tech needs. Good call.

:bomb:

This is ridiculous.

seems to be a theme...:(

woohooo!

Still have to get the funding as far as I know...

Further, the health center moving is also a good thing. First, their current building is falling down and could end up being torn down when the new Biology building is built. Secondly, housing is...

This was my answer to your question Brian. Don't know what "facts" you are looking for. I don't have copies of the referendum. Oakes has made public statements about wanting to use the fees for...

I agree with much of what you just posted AG...however, I would imagine there is pretty strong administrative pressure not to bring up the last fee increase. That's not a good reason not to bring it...

I don't know if it's available or not. It's been a while since I've seen the model, but it would change quite a bit. I'm not exactly sure what it's okay to post, so I'll refrain for now. If the...

I assure you they aren't moving and shifting things around just for the heck of it. This is a small part of a huge plan. I imagine you've seen as much of the plan as I have. You can rest assured...

Tech students don't know how good they have it with respect to fees and the like. Do whatever you want. If the upgrades don't fit your personal taste, don't vote for them. I really don't care...

Some Universities have full fledged alumni retirement communities for alumni.

The university of alabama has, more or less, a water park. Is that a "waste" (meaning not a necessity)? Of course. Is it freakin' awesome? The answer is yes. These aren't arbitrary improvements....

I was a senior when that referendum was voted in. They acted like it would be used to improve Tech athletics. Even when it passed, they knew full well that funds raised from the student fees would...

Nah...I think they are VERY valid concerns. And, I think SGA and whoever is promoting this to the students should address it fully. What I'm saying is that this is a lot different than the athletic...

What prevented the athletic fees from being used the way Oakes wanted to was no obscure rule...it was THE RULE and he knew it. This is a totally different animal.
