The kicker is, his idea to end the free vote of the people, is to have leaders not listen to the vote and instead do what they see as fit



Isn't this what happened when the SC overturned the "vote of the people" of CA against gay marriage, and somehow made it federal law that all states have to comply with?

A good leader would take this voice from the students he/she is paid to represent as part of the head of the university, and act on it after careful thought

He should reach out to donors and alumni as well, and get their pulse on this. If it’s across the board the change should be made regardless of what he thinks personally

A rash decision should not be made solely on the current students vote, as they only make up a part of a university, but it also shouldn’t be ignored


This is exactly what San Diego State did last year for the Aztec. We are still the Aztecs

Students of a college/University should never be the ones voting on these matters. Only alumni.

They are going to vote for the Glendale Human Being. Described as "SCHOOL MASCOT, A NON DENOMINATIONAL, ETHNIC FREE REPRESENTATION OF THE GREENDALE STUDENT BODY"

Most of those idiots probably think it’s namesake was for George Washington Carver.

that is so fricking stupid. A mascot is supposed to have some meaning to the school. They will get mocked relentlessly for having "nothing" as their mascot. Why not just use an empty gatorade bottle, or a #2 pencil or trash bag as your mascot.

something less “offensive” to both domestic and international students


How is colonial offensive? Imperialism is offensive, colonies are victims of imperialism.

Those dolts don't even recognize the mascot already represents a victimology.

change to a hippo


How is that not offensive they are aggressive and kill around 300 people of color every year.
