Antonelli: Apology To The Students
To The Undergraduate Students of Stony Brook University, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to each and every student for my seemingly wrongful action of motioning to adjourn the last USG Senate meeting 45 minutes early. In moving to adjourn, I made a judgment call on what I deemed was getting out of order. There was much back and forth between the Senate and the gallery members and I did not feel this was the proper forum to address the issues given the fact that only a few senators (including myself) had extensive knowledge on the budget. I have no problem speaking with students about concerns they have with the budget. I am always accessible through e-mail (jtantone@notes.cc.sunysb.edu), as well as in person in the USG suite. I can be found there almost any time that I am not in class or meeting with an administrator to address student concerns. I encourage any student who has any concern at all about how their club budget was determined to get in contact with myself to discuss the issue. Thank you for your understanding in the issue and I look forward to continuing my service to the undergraduate student body. Sincerely, |

Apology?
While this "apology" is seemingly of the "non-apology apology" category, I think it shows some courage that Mr. Antonelli made it, acknowledging that some improvement is needed in the way elected officials reacted to legitimate criticism of their actions.
