Brogan threatens to disband student government
Palm Beach Post article
"I am extremely disappointed with student government's continued lack of respect, professionalism and commitment to representing the entire student body of FAU," Brogan wrote, adding that the group's actions "have caused significant embarrassment" to the university.
"I will tell you my frustration is not a bluff," Brogan said. "If we do not see something better by way of student government, then I have no other choice than to take action. Serious action."
Brogan's concerns include:
? The mishandling of student government elections resulted in a three-month vacancy in the offices of president and vice president.
? School and police investigations into the handling of a $15,000 Barnes & Noble gift card program sponsored by student government where student applications were falsified.
? An estimated $63,000 budget cut by student government to Owl Radio and the failure of student leaders to hire a manager for the station. Radio station employees have not been paid for several weeks.
"Enough is enough," Brogan said. "I am tired of the lip service I'm receiving from SGA."
Brogan said if student leaders do not comply promptly, he could take the almost unheard of action of dismantling the association.
"There is always what I consider the death penalty," Brogan said. "It's rare, but it has happened and that is the absolute closure of student government, and a re-creation of it entirely."

Does anyone think there will be charges filed?
If he did it, which I imagine he did, I hope they do. Did you hear the latest about the test prep scholarships that they were supposed to be giving out to students but the majority went to SG members? It was in the UP, I believe this last week.

I can't believe that this is in everyone's face and nothing has been done up to this point. If people are abusing the system, get them out of there! >:( Who do I need to call or write?
