Why do we hate our students!!!

Yes, and they're doing it using the same vague policy. That's where the Greeks need to start, go after policy change. Get in the room with those in charge and work to clarify parts of the policy to the Greeks advantage.

The Greeks would then face draconian sanctions like they always do. This is a university who kicked the SGA president out of school for writing a critical editorial in the Vermilion.

Wait, that really happened? Like fully kicked out of school?

Everyone here is screaming at the clouds and that is working great so far. People can say
"it's not on the students" all they want but if the students want change, they have to act.

Who and when? I've never heard that story.

Or the adults in charge don't start trying to "fix" problems that were never there....

First, I find it hard to believe someone was kicked out of school because of an editorial they wrote in the school paper.

Second, Ben Archer was on the football team from 95-98. A quick search and he shows that he’s a graduate of UL.

Of course you do.

Ben was let back into school when he threatened to sue.

C4L literally lived with the dude, IIRC.

Unwrap your lips from the administration's meat and veg. It's embarrassing.

Wasn't there a write up or mention in a subsequent yearbook?

Yes, he threatened to sue the university and we reinstated. It was such BS. The same attitude still exists today.

There is a systemic problem within Martin Hall. They excel in certain areas and are completely inept in others. The problem is that they want to be like the Wizard of Oz.

Thanks for adding more of the background to the story. Would be nice if past issues of The Vermilion were available online.

Not surprising. Just 8 years later, I got a 10PM phone call from Martin Hall. They tried to get me fired from the Vermilion and kicked out of SGA. Neither plan worked.

I guess they learned their lesson, because they never threatened to kick me out of school
