However…. first. You seem to be completely ignoring all the services that SSAF also is put into i.e. The Librarys and new services for students.

This is all before talking about all the services that the union uses this money for, again i.e. welfare packages for students, rent assistants for low income students, autonomous areas for students. The list continues to grow. These are all things that help students, especially disadvantaged students, or would you prefer disadvantaged students not receive the help they require?

Seeing as you are a TUU campus president I took the liberty of looking up the minutes from your meetings (reference down below). call me crazy but it got me interested as to where my SRC where putting all this “stolen” money. I noticed something interesting.

you have so far funded

– One Framed Photo of the SRC

– Certificates for the SRC

– Name Badges for the SRC

– Name Plates for the SRC

– Free Color printing for SRC

– your name to be placed on a honor board

– money to reimburse you for dinner you bought the SRC

My question now becomes how can you feel justified to write about SSAF being a crime yet seem to spend so much on yourselves? If you ask me that seems to be a tad corrupt. Is profiting from crime not illegal in itself?

Now on to my second point. SSAF stands for Student Services and Amenities Fee It is by no means a Union Tax. compulsory Student Unionism was abolished by the liberal party when the brought in VSU. How can you say it is a union tax when the majority goes to other sauces. is that not a little misleading?

and third. Why provide a reference you need a subscription to access?

I doubt I shall Receive any reply to this comment so i shall be emailing the TUU State President as this is the second time you have embarrassed the northern campus with you misguidance and out right lies.
