Looking back on the brief experience I had with ASUN, I can’t help but laugh when the student officers and bureaucrats alike would have entire meetings trying to determine the reasons why people on campus do not become more involved with their affairs. Ignore for a moment their tarnished superiority complex or why the Students for Liberty can have more people in a room participating far more than the senate could ever achieve (with paid members), and instead consider a situation I had with a representative from the diversity commission.
Last week I primed my future posts on the repugnant moral premise the diversity movement unintentionally holds (like how the super elite humans (board of regents) are mandating for more less superior humans (“different” people) like some order request for more… lawnmowers… but more on this later) and I got an invitation from an ASUN representative to attend their meeting. Charlie Jose invited me to go to the Unity Commission meeting:
if you would like to attend a Unity Commission meeting to voice your concerns, they are at 9:30pm on Wednesdays. Visitors are more than welcome. Please let me know, and I can put you on the agenda as a special guest of the audience. you can contact me at 702.339.3864 or vicepresident@asun.unr.edu.
I added this time to my calendar and I was all set to go with some club members tomorrow to sit in and learn what they are all about. Their most recent event is “Sexual Awareness Week”, which seems to extend outside the realm of what I would consider diversity and I wanted to learn more. However, upon further research, I find their page on the ASUN shitho– err… website which states:
WHEN: Every Tuesday at 7pm.
WHERE: 3rd floor of the Joe in the ASUN Presidents Conference Room.
WHY: We need all the help we can get to turn our goals of unity into reality.
I then go to their facebook page which does not give any information about their meetings at all. So, I missed their meeting which was very disappointing considering diversity is a hot button item on campus right now (Sagebrush special, regents, etc.) ASUN – if I, an extremely involved and active member on this campus cannot even find out about one of your events, what chance does the mainstream student have? Pull yourself together (and don’t you dare cite your failure on lack of funds/bureaucrats).
