My premise does presuppose acceptance of a Student Government that focuses on both providing student services and representation in shared governance in addition to an arm that does include advocacy through whatever form it takes (be it grassroots campaigning or other tactics).

Thus I suggest my framework for analyzing ASM within the context of its current delineated goals, which seem to be generally accepted, although the balance of these goals seems to be the fundamental arena of dispute between varying ASM ideologies.

The votes were incorporated into the rankings as one component of five. Four authors' rankings of the top 20 events were also included as part of the formula.

As I thought I made clear in my post, I respect your right to charge what you wish, but I also maintain my right to publish what you are charging and write about you in the way I see fit :)

I absolutely agree that UW needs more money, but considering the utter inability of UW-System, student leaders and UW-Madison to mount an effective lobby effort to lessen the blow of budget cuts and the reality that there won't be additional funding anytime soon, drops in the bucket are needed.

Simple solution: vote for one, refresh and vote for the other.

Funny that you should pick out "beloved chancellor" but not "CEO attacks" or Montee Ball stiffed" as your example of subjectivity. Or what about "Vice Chair booted" "lure international students" or "Mayor Soglin declares war"? Or asking why I didn't put an adjective before NBP, say "slashes system budget" for Governor Walker or use "waste time chanting" instead of "rally against" for the Budget Repair Bill.

But "beloved" is definitely the word to describe the en mass campus feelings about Biddy, anyone thinking otherwise is clearly out-of-touch with campus.

Do it and we'll see what happens...I'd be more than happy to present on a range of issues. Here are some sample topics I could speak about.

- Why do we fund student stuff? How to develop a sound fiscal philosophy
- No that's not what democracy looks like: student government in the 21st century
- Long-term planning in student government: life isn't just a semester plan.
- Money Doesn't Grow on Out of State Trees: what a single budget decision does to the everyday student

Seems somewhat antithetical to the current ASM and its internal cronyism

I'd be more than happy to come back and present. I'll even do a series of trainings over a weekend. They could line-item my trainings in to save some of the allocation headache. Unless they are just looking for a slush fund...
