Student affairs blog finally posts support of self-operating option

Thu, 05/06/2010 - 12:26pm

Although the vague, incomplete and misnamed “KUT plan” (actually the “SEC bifurcated plan”) appeared on the “Cactus Comments” blog almost two weeks ago, it took over a week after submission before the Student Friends of the Cactus Cafe’s “Support for the Self-Operating Cactus Option” was published there. The blog, managed by the Office of Student affairs, shows a false dateline on the blog entry, which was actually published only yesterday, May 5.

Please support these students, whose efforts are aligned with the undergraduate and graduate student government and the many councils by adding your comments of support there.

If you left comments on the UT blog and don’t see them there immediately, please post them here, too.
