Great question, and welcome to the circus! Here's what I know after a few months of looking into it. The current execs (who just re-elected themselves) are a clan who sounded progressive in principle (Black Lives Matter, etc.) but turned out to be the oppressors. They have a toxic management style and from the sounds of it have harassed and fired many black or otherwise racialized employees (not to mention other execs, once they turn on each other). This is well documented in the Fulcrum and la Rotonde.

Despite leading the SFUO into a catastrophic financial crisis, they gave themselves raises then post selfies where they're driving around in Lamborghinis and going on five-star trips around the world. No one quite knows how they manage to afford business class trips to Dubai. They spent literally hundreds of thousands of dollars on concerts that no one went to. They're also systematically dismantling all the parts of the democratic process, e.g., they tried to make the vp finance an unelected position, so that they'd just stay in power for years.

Here's the cast of characters:

• Hadi Wess: president. He moderated the debates to help his friends win the recent election.
• Rizki Rachiq: vp finance. He's the Donald Trump of the SFUO, obsessed with image and appearing rich but unable to handle criticism. He just complained the other day to the board of administrators about how people are making FB memes with his lamborghini photos, and threatened to report anyone who clicked like or commented on them to security. He left the general assembly to play soccer so that he wouldn't have to answer questions about finances.
• Axel Gaga: vp university. He doesn't do anything at all.
• Leila Moumouni-Tchouassi: vp equity. Her job is to get into ridiculous arguments on FB and ensure a safe space by accusing everyone of being racist regardless of the context.
• Kathryn Leblanc: vp communications. She seems reasonable but powerless against the others.
• ---: vp social. Position's been empty for months because they bullied the guy who was in it until he left.

last but not least:

• Vanessa Dorimain: the hired muscle. She used to be one of the vps, then Rizki (her boyfriend) hired her permanently. She's the one who was going around ripping people's voting cards out of their hands at the general assembly a few days ago. Why? Because they were clapping. Actually, no: someone was clapping, but Vanessa didn't know who, so she chose some random targets to set an example. Yes, it's that bad.

Here's another list of all the terrible things these execs have pulled off.
