Lusk Found In Violation of Bribery Statutes
UCF SGA, Videos — By Cliff Jett on September 29, 2009 at 8:51 pm TweetKnightNews.com is following breaking news in the SGA Senate race.
SGA veteran William Lusk, a member of the Unite Ticket and incumbent candidate for the College of Sciences Seat 6, was accused of committing an election violation, according to SGA officials.
“The elections commission voted 7 to 1 in favor of William Lusk receiving a major violation,” Chief Elections Commissioner Marlee Popluder told KnightNews.com in an exclusive phone interview conducted Tuesday night.
Popluder said she’ll release a more detailed statement on the situation Wednesday morning.
The controversy stems from Lusk’s alleged attempts to secure an endorsement from the College Republicans for the Unite Ticket, according to sources who attended the hearing.
A major violation could cause a candidate to be expelled from the race, but there are options to appeal. KnightNews.com is working to contact Lusk to determine what his plans are and to get his reaction to these charges.
This decision was made during an elections commission meeting held Tuesday. Here is the video of the opening of the election commission’s meeting, including opening statements made by both parties involved.
KnightNews.com interviewed Lusk about his senatorial bid during our coverage of declarations earlier this month.
For those interested, here is the video.

To Wow:
And you are one to talk considering you are not posting your real name.
politics as usual
Wow, I am shocked at all the hateful comments towards someone who had the principles to stand up and to the right thing. Obviously those who are posting these slanderous statements are sissy’s by not posting their real names. I really respect this girl, and from what I heard it’s not CJ who can’t keep her legs closed its the chairwoman of the college republicans. That club needs to be revamped because obviously they don’t have “real” conservatives.
Wow… well, if you want to state things that you’re not sure about then you need to just shut up and stop saying things under anonymous names. And you’re actually committing slander with your comments. And that girl in KD that is your friend, well if it is true that she is making those statements then SHE needs to be sent to standards and kicked out of KD. And I don’t really know anyone in KD that doesn’t like CJ, the only reason I could think of for people not liking her is that she stands up for whats right no matter how hard it is to do and she doesn’t go to socials or bars with all of them. She hasn’t been to a bar since freshmen year and she has her life way more together than you obviously do. You sit around a computer all day thinking about how you can destory someone’s name who has done NOTHING to you. Unless maybe you are Will Lusk under another name and you are mad you got caught for bribery…
aot,
your loving sister
ps. Don’t listen to these people ceej, you’re better than this
I’m actually best friends with a girl in KD and I’m not telling my name cause who knows if cj will hunt me down and incriminate me.
Sorry for the misunderstanding about cj leaving kd – its what i heard. What I do know is true, is that aton of sisters don’t like her cuz I hear it and BOTH her littles dropped her! ouch.
Casey Cooper is still a sister of Kappa Delta… She was NEVER KICKED OUT. Stop posting lies about her…. How about you post your name if you’re going to say lies? O ya… You’re a liar so you don’t want everyone to know your name. Please leave her alone. Casey is an amazing person who has been getting so much crap over DOING THE RIGHT THING.
aot,
Fellow sister
isnt tape recording someone a felony?? I hope that bitch gets kicked out of school. No body likes you cj. senate is looking forward to finally not having to stare at your dumb blond face every thursday! id replace you with a william lusk any day on senate.
Only endorse a ticket with all conservatives? haha If you’re so conservative, try keeping your legs closed every once in awhile CJ!! I bet being “conservative” is why you were kicked outa KD huh?
CJ did the right thing. Whether or not you you would have done something different; she was in her duty to act as she did.
I’m not friends of hers, nor of William. I am not a Republican so I don’t have any sort of affiliation to these individuals. William did wrong, he might have been joking around, but he should have included that into his first phone conversation with CJ. Not later on, when he knew that he was already in trouble. So his punishment is deserved.
We don’t expect bribery from our people at Washington, we don’t expect it here at UCF.
Let me start by saying I went to middle school with “The Lusk.” There is one thing that will never change about this individual. He is a joke of a human being. I’ll give a rough non researched estimate of about 130 students in my class at Coachman Middle School and out of all those students he was the 130th person I would want to have a conversation with that day. Every time this sleeze tard opens his mouth, I am instantly angered and ask God why individuals like this are given a leadership position. This student shows no desire to better this school but only wishes to better himself. I do not fault “The Lusk” for attempting to better himself though because he has a lot of work to do. Unfortunately there is nothing this individual can do to become a better person because he will always be a complete sleeze, who gives you the desire to wash your hands and face anytime you come within 5 yards of him. Anytime “The Lusk” attempts to come in contact with you please for your well being, find a bottle of Purell. I will end my discussion of “The Lusk” with a quote by Judge Judy (When this came out of his mouth I immediately broke into laughter) used by him in the first video, “If it doesn’t make sense, It isn’t true.” It makes no sense for anyone to trust this individual or let him continue on Senate. His continued future in Senate must not be true.
was from an earlier video he was previously interviewed in before the elections… hence the other random people… it says so right above it.
What humors me is that if u watch the second video it is 2 and a half minutes long but only the first 45 seconds are actually talking to Will Lusk the rest of it is talking to some other random people.
HAHAHA — CJ COOPER JUST MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME AND BECOMING A WOMAN – DONT FORGET HOW MANY TIMES WE ALL SAW YOU GETTING BANGED OUT IN THE BACK OF SCOOP AND HOW SLOPPY OF A MESS YOU WERE A FEW YEARS AGO
It’s about time he got caught in one of his many lies. Will Lusk, you’re a liar liar pants on fire.
Wait, wait, wait.
All this talk about CJ and College Republicans and what this person and that person meant, yada yada yada, and was the evidence obtained correctly or not, yada yada.
Let’s put all that aside and look at one thing:
Will Lusk bribed someone and was studid enough to get caught on recording.
If you are defending him, you are literally supporting criminal activity. What if he shot someone and CJ caught it on tape…would CJ be attacked for sending it in? No, she would be a hero.
Why don’t all of you identify yourselves. I’m willing to bet everyone defending him on this wall is either a member of his senate team or is a member of the college republicans, an organization that Will Lusk corruptly gives large amounts of money to in Senate week after week.
If Cj didn’t hand it in, she could literally be go to student conduct and get in trouble for NOT handing it in, since people knew she had the eviddence.
If KnightNews didn’t report this, THEN they would be a bad news source for NOT reporting this major scandal.
So stop your bitching, and call Will Lusk on the phone and say “Dude, how the hell can you be so damned stupid?”
Thank you CJ, and thank you KnightNews.com.
This blonde trashy hoe is a skank who decided that would be a good idea to give knightnews some views on their poorly contructed website.
but we’re not here to discuss that…- hoe please.
Wowwwww, way to turn on the water works CJ. That was Oscar worthy. Politics is politics, and anyone who knows Will (including you) knows he’s abrasive and has a quirky sense of humor. “I’m not a mind reader.” Maybe not, but you’re a mudslinger and a snitch. Paint the canvas anyway you want, everyone important can see right through your colors.
Where is the rest of the video?
Fact:
1) Will Lusk was caught on tape bribing someone.
STFU if you are trying to say that CJ was getting revenge, or that KnightNews isn’t getting the facts.
KnightNews put up an UNALTERED video of the hearing where Will Lusk’s ILLEGAL behavior was exposed. That is their JOB as a news source.
Instead of arguing whether or not the tape should have been recorded or what CJs motives are, shouldn’t we be debating whether Will Lusk should be kicked out school vs. just put on suspension?
Give me a break. Anyone who is writing in defense of him in this comments section is only doing so because they are on his ticket and just lost a campaigner.
He is corrupt, and reflects the ideals of the entire UNITE ticket since he is one of the senior-most members.
KnightNews.com is the an amazing news source for getting to the hearing in such fast response time, getting the video up and portraying the facts. It even says in teh story they are actively pursuing people on both sides of the story to make sure they get all the facts. If this story upsets you, then give Will Lusk a call and tell him to stop bribing people. (Oh, wait…he may bribe you not to call him)
10,000 for republicans but you love to cut all the other organizations budgets. you hate giving out sga money to everyone except republicans. how hypocritical
the revenge of casey cooper….alittle obvious isnt it? i just happen to have a tape recorder here…yeah right…
thank you knight news for bringing this issue to light, this is ridiculous behavior and clearly bribery. “if it doesnt make sense its not true” – it does make sense that you would try to bribe to endorse your ticket
“Casey Cooper is bitter” Yup
She didn’t support the ticket because her dumb butt didn’t get on it. Furthermore she touts that her ideologies don’t match the whole ticket (you know, because diversity IS A HORRIBLE THING).
Casey Jo…Join us in the 21st century!
And as for Knightnews…you are a shameless internet tabloid!
Thanks for getting half of the story you shallow paparrazzi
How can you now say there are any facts when there is a video posted? She was only doing what was right, I am sure we all have had battles with whether to turn someone in or not, but why would you want such a sleezy person running for senator anyways. It’s pathetic that he had to even offer to bribe them to back his ticket. If Unite was such a great ticket, they would have endorsed it; being neutral isnt a bad thing. She shouldnt have been yelled at and was clearly upset about having to do it in the first place, it isnt a good place to be. Knightnews always provides as much information as they can and let us make our own decisions. How can you honestly believe what he said “if it doesnt make sense it isnt true” give me a break, how true is that statement? He is sleezy and shouldnt be allowed to run for senate.
The article says:
“The elections commission voted 7 to 1 in favor of William Lusk receiving a major violation,” Chief Elections Commissioner Marlee Popluder told KnightNews.com in an exclusive phone interview conducted Tuesday night.
How is this giving no information?? lol
I’m sure if they knew more they’d have said more…but what is being said is pretty significant…
Just saying…your attacking this site is in poor taste
@youguysareridiculous: How dare you say this site is a joke. It is the ONLY place I can go to watch this disgraceful behavior on camera. I can see for my own eyes what Lusk did and how he didn’t even apologize. This is the only place where I can come and make my OWN opinion, instead of having a biased writer paraphrase it for me. I don’t see how you say they provide no information when there is an entire video showing what is up.
Casey Cooper is bitter that she was kicked off the Unite ticket after their ticket came to their senses and realized she is an awful senator! This is the stupidest, dirtiest, most ridiculous attempt at a violation.
Wow… a new low and a new blonde moment for CJ. This is going to come back to bite her.
i just find it rele funny that you guys clearly spent the time making this whole picture thing of the candidate with the logo accusing senator lusk of bribery and then provided absolutely no information. I dont know what students would do without the credibility provided by this abosolute joke of a news source. thanks for nothing knight news. the only thing hilarious about you guys is that your attempts to be serious reporters are just a joke.
i wouldn’t be so quick to judge, these stupid articles always show up during sga elections and most of them are for some stupid pointless reason. the person who filed charges probably was scared they would lose or upset they didn’t get put on his ticket….
william lusk seems like a sleezeball of a senator
