Why do people try to defend the indefensible? What do people attacking other people personally accomplish? Why do people not take responsibility for their own inaction, or worse their poor actions? Through the years, it has become acceptable to try to repel questions concerning people’s own actions by finding reasons to attack those who question others. Somewhere along the line, people have learned to apply liberally a mean spirit to all conversations that could become constructive and useful. Those actions do nothing but deceive, or worse demean the person doing the personal attacking. The normal reaction of others is to see the inability and lack of common decency to exist in the realm of normal societies.
Today, I witnessed someone personally attacked because they voiced their opinion. This person then was verbally threatened by someone who did not even have enough backbone to show their name, but used the infamous anonymous as their title. How immature and unethical in nature this anonymous person was. If they have the desire to attack, and threaten a person, then do it in full light of day, and with full evidence of all bias that they render.
The question was simple, why does the Student Senate not actually accomplish something this semester, and not just work on internal affairs, while leaving the real needs of students in the cold. Why would anyone be attacked so vehemently for this? The responder showed bias, as well as a hatred for a specific political leaning that portrayed as anger and hatred. This truly was not what the blackboard of the UMPI campus was created.
If the Senate cannot get its house in order, and create actual evidence showing results, then all students who pay in excess of $170,000 annually have the right to question and also demand results or the dismissal of those who are do nothing leaders of this governing organization.
When the senate has evidence that there were miss-appropriations of student activity fees by an organization, then they have the responsibility to take action immediately, and keep the students informed of progress, and not to sweep the issue under the rug. It is up to the president of the senate to lead the group, and to create an atmosphere of cooperation and transparency, not avoidance, and closed doors.
Time has come for people to fess up to their own discretions and incompetence’s, while creating an atmosphere of true cooperation with others.
