So now, I will make a comparison of what the situation looks like now with a CEO in the picture. In an email sent out by Seamus Wolfe to all the candidates, this sentence really scares me:
Since the constitution stipulates that the elections committee has the power to review all rulings made to the CEOs decisions, in the absence of a CEO, the committee will now be directly dealing with decisions normally made by the CEO.
So, let's think about this: Seamus Wolfe, president of the SFUO, sits on the elections' committee. The email sent out also says "We will also be assigning a liaison to the elections office who will receive complaints, appeals, and any other communications required." That's all fine and dandy. BUT Wolfe will now oversee the electoral process and address (if he feels like it) any complaints that (will most likely) arise.
The president of the SFUO is (obviously) on the SFUO executive and on the elections committee. That in itself is troubling enough. Now that the CEO has resigned and assuming there won't be an effort made to replace him, the elections committee will now oversee the electoral process.
I guess the only unbiased oversight of these elections is the Board of Administration of the SFUO. Oh wait, that doesn't seem to be much better because many candidates are SITTING on the BOA. So does Wolfe. Wow!?! How can this be legitimate? If I was a candidate right now, I'd be worried and questionning the decisions that have been and that will be taken in the next day concerning this fucked up scenario that has arised.
By the way, IT'S ONLY DAY 3 OF THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN!?!?!?!? FML!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a candidate.
