Re: Semester 2 Chatter Thread

Just wrote a letter to the Bull:

Dear Bull,

Just something quick in response to Ruchir's response to Dan's response to Justin's (the other one) article on VSU. Fee refunds were offered by both the SRC and the Union under compulsory student unionism, but both required students to show cause for why they should be given such a refund, and the Union's form informed the applicant that "financial hardship of itself is NOT sufficient grounds for the General Manager to exercise discretion and allow an exemption or a refund." [USU website, 2006]

It is true that students could choose not to be members of a student organisation, but they were still compelled to pay their $600 and it was instead directed to a scholarships fund.

Cheers,
Justin Simon
Union Board Director

They only gave out refunds if you changed unis after enrolment, dropped out due to sickness or (partial refunds) if you switched unis mid year. I researched this shit, and that is a direct quote I copied from the form and pasted into an email I sent a couple of years ago. I also have the URL, but the link's long dead.

If you couldn't pay your $600, stiff shit, you don't get into university.

I will!

Also the debate in manning was good yesterday.. though i was pretty much the only McCain supporter there so i had to do all the cheering myself

Edited for truth. Why support McCain when there's Bob "I have a motherfucking hardcore moustache" Barr. So much for liberty man.

WAF's post is in direct contrast to your letter to The Bull. He said there are ways around the fee. You said there weren't.

Get it together lads!

What happens if you just didn't pay?

You were sent a bill?
