    L.A. District Attorney to SMC’s Student Government — Obey the Letter and the Spirit of the Brown Act —

    Posted in SMC Governance, SMC Community, Associate Student Board of Directors, Office of Student Life on July 2nd, 2006 by Longwing


    A Warning to the Office of Student Life

    Screenshot of letter from LA District Attorney to AS Board of Directors

    Click here to read the entire five-page letter.

    This is what happens when the remedies of the system are exhausted and inadequate to the task. You go outside of the system. And now the participants in the Office of Student Life – Assistant Dean of Student Life Deyna Hearn, Student Activities Advisor Benny Blaydes, and the Associated Student Board of Directors…plus others – have received a five-page notice about their obligations under the law from the office of the Los Angeles District Attorney. In the unfortunate event of further violations, it’s unlikely the D.A.’s office will limit their involvement to a letter. Violations of the Brown Act are a misdemeanor.

    But let’s start back at the beginning.

    A Lone Student Who Leads

    Posted in Political, SMC Governance, SMC Community, Associate Student Board of Directors, Inter-Club Council, Clubs on May 19th, 2006 by Longwing

    Amidst the lamentable absence of student leadership at Santa Monica College, especially as it has been with the 2005-06 Associated Student Board of Directors and the Inter-Club Council, there remains a consistent exception, a sole voice - unelected - but nonetheless speaking out regularly and powerfully in the public comment portion of student government meetings and at every other opportunity for constructive service to SMC. (Click to see a sample of Mr. Lee in action.)

    Ren McCormack - Please Come to SMC, Please!

    Posted in Political, SMC Governance, SMC Community, In Loco Parentis, Associate Student Board of Directors, Board of Trustees, DPAC (District Planning & Advisory Council), Faculty Senate, Classified Senate, Inter-Club Council, Clubs on March 13th, 2006 by Longwing

    In 1984, Paramount released the movie “Footloose,” the story of Ren McCormack (Kevin Bacon), a streetsmart teenager from the big city whose family moves to Bomont, an earnest little Oklahoma town, whose elders years earlier had banned any kind of public dancing. Under the inspired leadership of Ren in challenging the statute, his peers rise up and assert their right to dance. Bomont is an apt metaphor for SMC now - before the arrival of Ren.
