Inbox: Petition risks punishing innocent senators

Daily Emerald

February 7, 2005

As most of you are aware by now, a student is petitioning to recall the ASUO Executive and most of the
student senators. The reasoning for him doing so revolves around the events of the ASUO retreat in the fall. Because of a few senators’ and
non-senators’ actions, innocent senators are being punished and could possibly lose their positions within ASUO. Group punishment for the
incidents is fine to a point, but it
is appalling when innocent senators are getting unduly punished to
protect a few.
I ask those persons who engaged
in drinking and smoking at the
retreat to come forward and disclose their involvement publicly. I will be honest that I knew drinking was more than likely going on at the retreat, but I refused to partake. I will do my part in the group punishment but I refuse to be further and unduly
punished.
