To Whom It May Concern:

Within my four years at Denison I have never been compelled to write into the BullSheet until today. I know that we are all adults so I am not going to tell people what to do this is simply food for thought.

*Understand that just because you are on the BSU email list and have come to one meeting throughout your time at Denison does NOT make you a member. Please do not speak on the behalf of an misrepresent what the BSU is standing for.
*DCGA stipulated that an emailed and hard copy of the budget be submitted as well as the fiscal responsibility sheet on a specific day and time. Understand that the BSU turned in an email copy of the budget. We are not seeking special treatment yet equity and consistency of the rules. Other organizations that did not receive a budget did not turn ANYTHING in. The BSU did and that effort makes no difference. Other organizations that did not turn in all three of these documents but turned in at least one, their budget was accepted (which means rules were bent for this to occur). Computing services has stated that the attachment within the email could not be opened. This says to me that the BSU budget rest on a computer glitch. Understand that.
*Realize there is more than one side to every story so try not to judge based on one. Ask questions, the BSU and others I’m sure will not negate to answer.
*Our organization affects more than those who attend weekly meetings but organizations and communities both on and off this campus. Technically, if policies were held to across the board we would not have to have these conversations, hold late night meetings, and deal with issues such as this.
*Make sure than informants relay proper information. Throughout this entire process members of the BSU have not been violent nor have we created a hostile environment. The same things were said about people during the Civil Rights Movement. Just like them, we have a presence about ourselves, which is not our fault. Just food for thought!

By the way, I, Ciara M. Scott do not give a rat’s ass about what other people have done in similar organizations. They are not the BSU! We do not think we are better than any other organization on this campus but we believe that we were done an injustice and this is what we are doing about it. We will continue to do what ever it takes to get things done.

Sincerely,
Ciara M. Scott
