It’s something all of us have been thinking recently, but not wanting to say out loud, out of fear of being labelled as “capitalist scum” by those really cool Marxists in your political thought class. But hear me out, maybe there’s a lot more in dissolving the union than what meets the eye.
We do not need a new student union to make student politics more democratic, transparent, and accountable.
So while some might pass campus politics off as trivial, it is important to keep an eye on student executives. You never know—they might one day take up other public office.
The SFUO is like a boyfriend who asks for grocery money, only to turn around and buy $10,000 worth of fireworks.
The time for a new student union has come. But this is also a time where we, as a student body, need to be careful and calculated.
Just like a country, a student union that neglects its history becomes short-sighted and ineffective.
