ASUSF Budget Does Not Reflect Student Work

April 16th, 2009 at 7:09 am

I’m not only glad that this piece was written, but that students are taking the time to read and comment. Since each student helps fund these accounts I think it’s essential they understand the distribution of money. The part that bothers me most about the situation is Alex Platt’s comment that Senate is like a full time job, insinuating that most paid account positions aren’t. As a member of the Foghorn staff I can confirm that each of us puts in at least 20 hours a week. On a slow week. Working for the Foghorn, an organization that puts out a tangible product every week as well as a thriving website, prevents many students from having enough time to have any sort of full time job. It’s discouraging that as the paper improves and expands exponentially our budget decreases. I’d like to see Senators working in their office until 3 am (sometimes later) for our stipends.

Sexual Harassment Rampant Among Students, Victims Fear Social Repercussions

March 5th, 2009 at 3:28 pm

It’s really frustrating that it takes something like alleged rape to get people talking about sexual harassment. I think the major problem, especially on university campuses, is that the line between what is and is not appropriate is so ambiguous. Women (and often men as well) expect to be subjected to some form of verbal harassment. For women, the clothes they wear, the people they spend time with and the alcohol they may consume become methods for excusing harassment. This is completely inappropriate. It’s horrible what it takes to start a conversation about sex, sexuality and boundaries, but I’m really glad we’ve finally started to have the conversation.
