The lack of meetings of the UNA board for close to have a year clearly shows that the board is not relevant to the management of the UNA.

The bigger issue is the fact the agreement grabs money from the UNA to fund athletics without any real oversight. Or, there is the news story where bad planning creates a noisy situation for some residents in chancellor but nobody really seems to give a care. Or, the lack of UNA board meetings shows that elected directors have no real power nor does our absence matter tot he functioning of the glorified community centre board that is the UNA. But at least our biggest claim to fame isn't trying to make a bigger block party or having kegs of beer poured on our heads ;) Just a note, the designated building item refers to buildings that would be predominately faculty and staff, otherwise they would have not representation at all.
