It’s an obvious trick that’s used by politicians all the time. Now you can clearly see that the real motivation for the cuts was even worse – to increase the financial benefits for executives. Even Tom Dvorak last year advocated against such foolish and selfish measures. I thought that one effect I might have left on the AMS was to create a Council that viciously scrutinizes the activities and motivations of the executive. Councilors, however, are apparently more intent on making the AMS even less relevant to students.
