Reinstating Colson
to IFC the right idea
"Hev. s»>» got s< rewed but we re nut going to do
any thing about it
So saveth the ASUO Constitution Court m the on
going saga of Mike Colson Cist Wednesday the c ourt
ruled Colson was unfairly ousted last suititm’f from the
Incidental Fee Committee
Hut in the next breath, they decided not to put Col
sun track on the IFC because, as they put it, reinstat
ing him to office would merely result in the IFC voting
again to remove him from offir e
That's probably true, lint the Constitution Court
has no rigid to make that assessment
The court's derision vs as based on the IFC listing
the meeting when the Colson vote took place under the
banner of "general meeting" rather than announcing
that a vote would take place When Colson arrived at
the meeting he was ambushed and summarily booted
The ASUQ Constitution requires elected student
officials to have adequate notice to defend themselves
when faced with removal Obviously. Colson didn't
get that privilege
l>tst year. Colson was subjected to one of the most
slime-slinging investigations ever seen at the Universi
ty Me was accused of tampering with IFC minutes,
and the ASUO strung him up 1-ater, after new IFC
elections. Colson was removed from his two-year seat.
Make no mistake, this is not a proclamation of Col
son's innocence. Nobody is sure exactly what hap
pened. and if by chance somebody knows, no one is
talking. This is merely an assertion that Colson was not
given the opportunity to defend himself adequately a!
the |une meeting The Constitution Court is merely lip
servir ing sympathy
The same people who removed Colson from the
IFC still sit on the committee, so it is likely that even if
he is given his seat hack it will tie for mere minutes
But if the ( institution (,‘ourt wants itself to be taken se
riously. it needs to reinstate Colson to the IFC instead
of Irv mg to predic t the future
