I find the ASUO elections annoying enough with the constant bombardment from over-enthusiastic students in color-coordinated T-shirts handing out useless pamphlets that just go straight into the nearest waist basket, but they seem to have gone overboard with their recent ploy.
In the middle of my first class back from spring break, I received a text message from a certain duo running for ASUO office. Now if that wasn’t annoying enough, later that evening while I was at home, I had the displeasure of receiving a telephone call from the same campaign. I did put my cell phone number on DuckWeb in order to receive any emergency text messages, but I very much doubt that the ASUO elections are in anyway an “emergency” that warrant phone calls and text messages to my personal number that I, in turn, have to pay for.
I already pay unwillingly to their program as is, as well as deal with the constant pestering from them on campus, but getting my phone number from the DuckWeb emergency contact and bothering me on my time is going more than a few steps out of bounds.
