Stony Brook U Student Government Implodes. It finally happened - President Kenny Decertifies Polity as Governing Body. Admin has moved in, taken over the student activity fee, and effectively put the student government out of business. A few points:
1) We (being the Stony Brook Press) have said this would happen for years - when was it, 1984(?) when we had the spoof cover of Fred Preston quoting the Star Trek line, "We will take what is rightfully ours from the decadent weaklings that now hold it!," referring to the Student Activity fee?
2) I am sure that Polity gave administration ample, ample reason to do so. In the short term, it probably was the right thing to do. But to quote another Star Trek line (this from Seven of Nine), "You frequently state that you 'had no choice.' Does that make you feel better?"
3) A big raspberry to the students that let this happen. Couldn't take care of the student activity fee, so now the 'grownups' have to? Great.
4) Yes, it galls me to have to link to a Statesman article on the news, but there is no Press article available online.
