Letters to the Editor: FUSA writes in

To the Editor:

Andrew Chapin’s April 10, 2008 column wrongly blames FUSA President Hutch Williams for disorganization within the FUSA Senate as it prepared a protest.

All blame should have been placed on me, the senate chair at the time. I take full responsibility for the pre-mature announcement of the protest – an endeavor the Senate was clearly not ready to embark on.

Secondly, Mr. Chapin’s description of FUSA as administration’s “kazoo” is increasingly untrue. The fact that the FUSA Senate is even willing to consider to protest an unresponsive administration means FUSA is far ahead of where it was under the DiBuono year.

During my first year as a senator, we discussed parking passes and housing pick raffles.

Today, the Senate discusses problems students actually have with the University. Sure, there’s work to be done, but today FUSA at least doesn’t ignore the fact that ordinary students are increasingly dissatisfied with the state of Fairfield University’s administration.

Sincerely, Tim Rich ’08 former Senate Chair
