Thanks, Ethan. Anonymous, that's exactly why I left, and left as quickly as I could - its very upsetting to have all of your ideas and hopes for the future of the college dashed instantly. That said, my exit was obviously unprofessional, which I regret - I don't think I need to mention that I make plenty of mistakes, as most of the college is already aware. Thankfully, we now have somebody who can do the job very well, and I'm excited to see where Student Life will go next year.

he was really broken up about it and left before he made a scene. Sean wanted this position a lot and worked very hard campaigning for it. he was let down and didn't want those emotions to negatively effect the proceedings. Don't always assume the worst because you maybe don't think he's qualified.

anyone see Sean Koerner's move? after the professionalism he exhibited in his campaign, I expected more. Clearly someone who doesn't stick around after a loss, and makes such a showy exit, has no business being on the exec board.

Thank goodness Vassar students were smart enough to elect Brian Farkas. You should all have no doubt that he has the muscle to shake affairs up at all levels of the college. I don't know any administrator or ranking faculty member at this school who doesn't trust his judgment, and isn't at least a little bit afraid of him. I can't wait.
