Letter: ?Supreme Court fails to check nepotism

TO THE EDITOR:

The Student Supreme Court has ruled on the side of incompetence and in favor of Student Government doing business behind closed doors. Rather than addressing the issue of a committee conducting its business without student notification, this court has ruled instead to reward for-profit business cronies of a student body president and committee chairman.

Student Government is meant to serve students, not businesses. The Court has paved the way for anyone to benefit from student fees and encouraged those with questionable motives to apply with days left in the school year to avoid being held accountable.

The Court hid behind the issue of standing — it ruled that graduating seniors are exempt from the Court’s protection from illegal actions of Student Government. I congratulate the Court for issuing perhaps its first ruling that sides with illegal, backdoor cronyism and not sound legal authority.
