We wouldn’t be successful that way. Get on board. And get on council, get on committee.

Preparing for careers as government regulators....

This passage struck me:

".......This transition will allow the University Park Fee Board to address existing operational deficits.........

"Existing operational deficits!?!" How the fu@ck does that happen? PSU gives the Board a certain amount of money and the Board allocates that money to student organizations/activities. How can it give out more money than it has? But my shock soon subsided when I read the next sentence:

"Both Student Fee Boards will be better prepared to anticipate future challenges and align with the University’s financial approach." And there, ladies and gentlemen, you have it: what's good for the goose is good for those getting goosed.

Normally here is where I would post a stupid nonsensical comment where I would defend and explain incompetency. Unfortunately they beat me to it.
