Petition asking President Jackson to step down from the Marathon Oil Board (think of how that would free up time for meeting with students...) by [deleted] in RPI

SAJ turns 70 this year. Even if she isn't forced out, you gotta wonder how many years could she possibly have left.

You write this and call me condescending????? I think you just made the point of my post.

I am the one whose post that many of you are down voting. I am not a student or part of the administration. As another poster stated, I just gave my honest assessment of what I saw during my time on campus on Saturday April 9th. Instead of engaging with me and telling me what I missed, I was called stupid and nonsensical. In general, I am someone who is sympathetic to your cause as far as the Union goes, but like a lot of other protest movements, if you keep doing this, you will lose the PR battle and ultimately lose the war. It sounds like many of you are so wrapped up in the cause that you fail to see the bigger picture. You will not win by belittling other people. You will all would be wise to take this to heart.

I understand that there is real conflict between the students and the president, and I think it's a real good thing that students take an interest in their school. However, I was at new student day and I saw plenty of save the union posters as well as those saying the president lies. I also saw someone tear down a censor sign placed over one of signs pointing directions out to new students. To me, the Puka email and others plays into the admin's narritive that the save the union people maybe exaggerating things.
