I mean, in fairness it's been hugely expanded from a very low base, but at some point you hit barriers to expansion that can't be quickly overcome (e.g. lack of properly trained lab techs).
Since I’ve been here I have been closer to the GSU than I wanted to be, but I have seen a range of effectiveness there. But those who are good in their roles are limited by those who are doggedly terrible.

I haven’t cared to say anything publicly though until now. Now I think it is just necessary to keep to pressure on. Even if it amounts to nothing at least others will see just how bad it is.

Most people ignore student government because they think it’s ineffectual. It certainly often is, but I have seen when it isn’t so I know what’s possible.

I have seen individual officers be effective by acting as communicators/lobbyists, cultivating relationships w/ ppl who can actually change stuff, usually on a local, departmental level. But as an institution or an overall organisation, I've never been convinced.

It definitely comes down to the individual. I think a large part of the issue is a cycle, so we get people wanting to be pres or VP for the CV and pay, but because of that people don’t care about the GSU and then we get ppl in who are petty and bad at their jobs.
