Now in the neverending ASUC story, Student Action filed “impeachment charges against Judicial Council Chair Sonya Banerjee”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=22235 Wednesday.
If this follows the pattern of the “impeachment hearings two years ago for Jessica Unterhalter”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=18423 (she was “acquitted by the grace of one vote”:http://dailycal.org/sharticle.php?id=18451), it’s not unlikely that the prosecutor is going to be an ASUC senator. Some people might see the fact that the Senate charges, prosecutes and judges these cases and call it a conflict of interest.
From the Daily Cal:
bq. Among the alleged violations cited in the charge sheet is the failure to provide a written, audio or visual transcript of the campaign violations hearing during which Suken Vakil, the Student Action executive slate’s designated spokesperson, made statements the Judicial Council later deemed perjurous.
Actually, Robert Gregg, the former J-Council Chair, presided over the meeting where Vakil made his allegedly perjurous chalk-lasts-one-day statement. Ergo, Banerjee had nothing to do with neglecting to transcribe the meeting. (”Beetle Beat”:http://beetlebeat.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_beetlebeat_archive.html#116309368456736619 caught this already as well.)
bq. The charge sheet also accuses Banerjee of accepting a case after the filing deadline, mistreating Vakil as a witness, imposing improper punishments and violating defendants’ rights as guaranteed in the ASUC constitution.
Actually, the proof of the horrible, horrendous abuse Vakil suffered at the hands of the domineering Judicial Council can clearly be seen on the already-noted-yet-still-nonexistant transcript of the hearing.
And next week, Student Action realizes it is not part of the quest and returns the ASUC Constitution to the council that upholds it. What do you think happens next in Fantasia? Tell us at “clog@dailycal.org”:mailto:clog@dailycal.org.
