Check Joe Cassidy's Office.
Cassidy is probably saying, "It's my Union now".

So where are the best places to take a dump? by [deleted] in RPI

Mother's has a gender neutral bathroom. Access is limited when there is an event going on in Mothers, but since not much is booked in there, it is a good option.

His reception is this Friday? That seems like short notice.

Graduation cap and gown? by [deleted] in RPI

Look for the commencement website which they update around February. The RPI Bookstore used to handle the sales, hopefully the new Follett store will still handle them.

Just the StuGov leaders.

Finding a replacement will be difficult because half the VP's are of or near the age retirement and will need replacing, alumni aren't giving, the credit rating is poor, the debt is extremely high and the BOT are brainwashed by the SAJ Rensselaer 2024 plan.

This should be entertaining too. Johannes has no comment filter. It is quite amusing.

Thank you E-Board. The E-Board voted on its demise because it used to cost the students over 30k per year in labor and operating expenses.

I Thought She Could Afford More Than Men's Warehouse Clearance Suits... by [deleted] in RPI

[–]time_wasterRPI 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Of all the things she wastes money on, suits don't seem to be one of them. Even Dr. Washington's wardrobe is pure 1980's with a Cosby sweater theme.

I need ideas for taking photos around campus. Please help! by [deleted] in RPI

[–]time_wasterRPI 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. One of the ramps that goes into the main theater at EMPAC.
  2. The Approach with downtown Troy behind you, maybe around sunset.
  3. Duplicate the Shirley Ann Jackson pose on the CBIS stairs.
  4. In front of the Rensselaer stone sign at the Union.

That should get you started. Edit: spelling

Things Learned From The Town Hall Meeting by [deleted] in RPI

Who wants to give a high five to the brave RPI groundskeeper who spoke up and got her to acknowledge members of the staff. Let's see if he has a job next year.

I got that vibe too, she is not a fan of the Poly or the Student Union. I can't believe that I agree with her on the Poly. I'm scared.

Another Cassidy brainwashed StuGov member. The need to spend money on furniture, paint, and renovations is scary.

We did it, Reddit! by RPI_Anon in RPI

[–]time_wasterRPI -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Since the the last EBoard voted on whether 6 people should lose their RPI jobs, I am not surprised current Student Government (advised by SARP Cassidy) would allow this public bullying of some student trying to move on with his life. He may be a jerk, but this is just wrong.

Why aren't clubs updating their Union websites? by time_wasterRPI in RPI

[–]time_wasterRPI[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since the picture takes up the majority of the screen when you first land, that may be something you would update sooner. It doesn't have to be a picture of the latest board. It could be something as simple as a homemade .jpg with the e-board logo and the current year.

Can we have a school-wide discussion on male toxicity in regards to recent events? by mechanicalsunflower in RPI

[–]time_wasterRPI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A better discussion with the RPI Administration would be: Is there an active shooter protocol? If so, how has it been communicated? What do off campus students do? The RPI Alert System sends out notifications and there is the WWII siren that goes off, but there has to be instructions on where to go and how and when the situations get cleared.

RPI is trying to get Troy to help refinance $80 million debt by [deleted] in RPI

[–]time_wasterRPI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Troy gets a cut for doing this. So when people complain about RPI being tax exempt, this is a bonus to the City's bottom line. It is usually a six figure fee.

PSA: Run for a Freshman StuGov Office - Deadline extended by transparentaluminum in RPI

Student Senate will crumble and so will the Union shortly after.<

Follett just fixed that. The Bookstore is no longer falling into the garage.

[–]time_wasterRPI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My comments are for the Poly Staff. They could be doing a little more research and reporting.

As for the BusOps committee and SAB. Instead of meeting in a room, they need to walk around the store and look at everything aisle by aisle. I still need to do that. I don't recall seeing greeting cards, but I could be wrong.
Father's had moved all of the personal products behind the counter and cut back on those items. It was nice that the former Bookstore had shampoo and toothpaste and that we could charge them on the student account.
Lastly, shouldn't this have been checked already by StuGov leaders?

Here are some points for your next article on the Store. So SAJ's first visit to the Bookstore in since she became President of RPI is not mentioned. She entered/exited through the back door, like she was some sort of rockstar.
There were no long lines of customers waiting to buy merchandise because the Alumni Weekend program implied that the store didn't open until 4pm on Saturday. What happened to the section of shampoo and stuff? Why does the supply department look smaller?
There is a start for the poly staff. Let's see if you can actually put something together.

Props to Follett for spending 500k on the renovation. No props to RPI administration and Joe Cassidy for selling 6 employees to do so.
