Disrespect...

This is the last straw. I have been extremely patient and professional in dealing with my university regarding the implications of VSU. This has not been reciprocated. Instead, their actions have show incredible contempt towards my staff, Council and even myself. Fair enough, they should have their input as to how their money is spent and to ensure that we comply with legislation. However, they now try to influence the way we govern ourselves. Telling us how our Council should look like? Who the hell do they think they are?! Student control of student affairs. They have absolutely no respect towards students' abilties to govern themselves.

I haven't lost my cool in a long time. I haven't shown my anger for a long time. It's probably been more than 5 years since I have publicly shown my anger. It isn't a pretty sight. I never intended to lose my cool again. This time though, it may well be time. I can't sit back any longer and let these bastards strut their arrogance in front of my face. How dare they question the decisions that my Council and I make. They think international students are stupid? Or are they afraid that we will find out and reveal their disgraceful treatment of international students? We know more than they think we do. Regardless, they've chosen the wrong international student to mess with. They want to play games? I'll give them a game they wish they never started.

Negotiations are always the first point of call. When they fail, you look for alternative methods. This university has never approached negotiations in an honest and open manner. They'll only understand if I stoop to their level. I've had enough. I'm not alone either. They underestimate the influence of students. Upholding their reputation? What reputation would they have if it were not for people like us? The time has come. It would be negligent of me to let them get away after this slap on our faces.

The repurcussions may be huge. But I've got a few tricks up my sleeve as well. I'll show them what it's like to be on the receiving end. Let sleeping dogs lie as they say. They've spat, slapped and kicked us around. Now it's time for them to face that which they brought upon themselves. I'll make them suffer just as much as they made my staff suffer. Let the games begin. A game you can never win...
