well, the idea for GUSRI has been around since early fall. i’m gonna go with anon, this is very typical GUSA – take something that another, independent group is doing well, and try to mimic it with foreseeable poor results. it’s like their practicing for real government jobs

This was actually the signature item of the GUSA Presidential campaign platform of Ace Factor and James Pickens. It sounds like they’re taking the idea they honed on the campaign and putting it into practice — so at least there are two people dedicated to the effort.

As the victim of an assault by another student on campus, I can attest to how horrific the Office of Student Conduct was at protecting me from further retaliation by my assailant. I literally had no advocate in the system, and due to the ineptitude of DPS and the OSC, I would have been safer and ultimately better off had I not reported the assault to the university.

I have high hopes that the Student Advocacy Office can help raise expectations for how students are treated by administrators on campus so that what happened to me never has to happen to anyone ever again.
