Comments on: SGA Leaders, President Peterson: ‘You Let Us Down’ http://knightnews.com/2010/02/sga-leaders-president-peterson-you-let-us-down/ UCF news, sports, Orlando college bars, Knights football, Greek Life, University of Central Florida tuition coverage, online student newspaper Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:25:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: FSV http://knightnews.com/2010/02/sga-leaders-president-peterson-you-let-us-down/comment-page-2/#comment-7378 FSV Sun, 28 Feb 2010 21:14:27 +0000 http://knightnews.com/?p=7368#comment-7378 This is the silliest thing I have ever seen for a student newspaper. The truth is that the ASF committee is EXTREMELY complex to navigate. It has so much power and very little regulation. You cannot possibly expect that the average student is going to have any clue how to vote or how to operate on a committee like this. The idea of appointing the "average" student to something ASF is ludicrous. SGA should never have even included this position in the first place. For years, the spots have been filled with SGA insiders because they understand the internal politics and they know the parliamentary process that governs the proceedings. If the student media really wants the "average" student to be involved, they need to analyze why it is that so many senators are elected from greek organizations.... Why? Because those students vote. If the "average" student won't do their part to elect "average" students to the easiest spots to win..... then the "average" student doesn't deserve a voice in SGA. Tell those "average" students that you are so fond of promoting, that they need to get off their butts and get involved. Decisions are made by those that show up, and if the students don't care enough, they don't have the right to disagree when SGA makes decisions they don't like. Deal with it.

This article is very biased and seems its just one more way stein can rip into Peterson because he is still angry about being beaten and outclassed I remind you. Stein this website is obvious bullshit and you can count on one less reader of your News site. Personally I think Peterson did a great job this past year.

SGA is a resource for students to express themselves and advocate for their beliefs to the administration and other parts of the government. If people people like those running Knightnews keep up with these false accusations and nihilistic methods of mediation, there may not be an A&SF budget next year. You are incorrect in your facts, the faculty senate cannot touch SGA, but Knightnews isn't bothering them. They are contacting people in the Board of Governors and Florida legislature (or so the allege). These are the people who, year after year, discuss taking away the A&SF because they feel students are too childish to handle it. I don't think it is fair that all students and all student organizations should have to be punished because the people running Knightnews are a bunch of lying, whining, brats who need to know how to follow simple procedures. That is part of college, learning how to navigate your way through society and work with the systems in place to get what you need, or take the opportunity to make changes for the better. Sounds to me like freshman Cliff Jett hasn't learned how to do this yet. Stand up against Knightnews, DON'T LET THEM RUIN IT FOR EVERYONE! @ Mike Mordaci

Everyone knows this whole election is a fraud and SGA is a complete joke and whoever wins will be completely wasting our money and spending irresponsibly to support these idiots who bicker of the most ignorant pointless BS. Whoever wins will elect a cabinet or campaign supporters and corrupt individuals to continue on the SGA tradition. I think it is time that UCF Faculty Senate jumps in and completely takes action against this behavior. This election should be called off and everyone currently involved in SGA should be impeached for aiding in corruption and all new people need to be put in place. You guys are making every student at UCF hate SGA more than they already did. UCF faculty needs to take control of these little kids that think they are politicians when really are they are is a bunch of power hungry elitists with nothing better to with their time. Another form of Illuminati on the college level! This fraud is getting out of hand!

Are you saying that he should give up all his student rights because he works in Student Government? And if you want the names of people or to dive into the issue further then go to SGA, schedule a sit down meeting with Brian and have a discussion. Just because you can't get answers to your questions on a discussion board doesn't mean the answers aren't there. Use your brain and legs and mosey on over to Student Government.

What were the names of the students who didn't get the job? I'd love to see knightnews or the future interview them about how they feel about Peterson's buddy boy beating them out of the job. If Chief of Operations was supposed to be on the committee, the senate would have wrote the statutes that way. Since you know so much. What were the names of the students who didn’t get the job?

The application was open the allotted time, few people applied (not including Seeff and Wolkenfeld who claim that they care "oh so much" about A&SF spending) and the most qualified was Mike Kilbride. In any position no matter it be SGA or a business you choose the most qualified who will do the best job. The heads of all three branches (President: voted on by students, Senate Speaker: voted on by senate who is voted on by students) met and selected the best candidate for the position. Therefore the students put people into power because they have faith that they will put the best candidates and most qualified people into these positions, well in turn that means the students did the right thing. If you disagree with the students choice then bash away as you have been doing, however this entire article is based off of slander and dramatics. And I am sorry but "Regular students" that you say should have gotten the position, well they didn't apply. And that "Regular Student" almost always has no understanding of A&SF dollars and what means to be fiscally responsible when deciding who to allocate them too. So therefore Knight News thinks that an untrained and unknowing regular student would have been more fit (if they had even applied) for this position then someone who is involved in SGA, an SGA Agency, and student organizations. Let me reiterate one more time: VERY FEW PEOPLE APPLIED FOR THE POSITION, THE MOST QUALIFIED GOT THE JOB. You can either suck it up and face the facts or you can keep claiming that these mysterious "regular students" were shutout of an opportunity that was presented to them in as many ways as possible. Stop using your Fox News UCF equivalent to spread hatred and unrest over issues that do not need it. Seeff\Wolkenfeld: If you really cared about A&SF you would have applied for the position. I know that Wolkenfeld knew about it as a senator, and if Seeff as a "Business Strategist" dealing with funds and fiscal responsibility didn't even know about the A&SF at-large position and doesn't even attend meetings then he is SPREADING CRAP TO THE STUDENT BODY. Wake-up UCF and breath in that fresh Seeff dookie. If you want met to refute Knight News then I will do so, it is quite simple:
