Which Way Now?

What really is going on?

It seems ICU has some tough choices ahead. A couple of weeks ago its Executive Committee (out of date link? Surely not?) decided to employ annother member of staff. Then this Monday suddenly they decide we are going to be royally screwed when it comes to their budgeting round. Oops. We didnt see that coming.

It smells to me like nnother case of a long discussion (good) followed by the decison that they needed to move on to other business (hmmm….) Now, i am sure it was said this was an agree in principle, but want some refinement to the plan. Apparently not. Do we get a chance to reconsider?

Well, Council can chuck it out. Now that would be a harrowing experience for the Executive. It just depend on whether you think Council would do this. I often wonder why many of them sit on it at all….

I think we need to look at what is going on. Its at the point where we even need to look at our sabbs and decide if we get value from them all. We cannot just carry on fixing little holes at a time. Does our president need a PA? How do the Average Students benefit from that? The union is changing, but it seems to some that the changes are not in the best interest…

People dont care about a sabb having a bad paperwork day. But kill their club and they become incensed

There are ways that the burden of paperwork  (if you have an IC login give it a whirl…) can be reduced by some bright people giving you a fantastic system. Someone was paid lots of money to improve the Union systems to a utopian ideal. And now the same person complains that information management is so hard. Its almost funny, if it wasnt going to upset so many things that I and many I know hold as so important

Will i regret this post? Maybe. Maybe i will just refine it.
