LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ASI execs Mason and Flores should resign
As a member of Residence Life Staff at University Courtyard, Fresno State’s on-campus living, I was appalled when I read the article “Two ASI execs on probation.” Part of my job as an Assistant Resident Director is dealing with residents in alcohol-related situations. We have strict rules and sanctions in place regarding the consumption of alcohol, and I have the responsibility to enforce these. More important than that, I have the responsibility of maintaining my own reputation of being “above reproach.” I cannot drink with my residents, especially those who are underage, because this would harm my ability to enforce policy.
For two elected ASI officials, such disregard of the rules in place during their retreat and of state law is intolerable. These two were given a slap on the hand and told not to do any more naughty things. At University Courtyard, we have lost staff members for less egregious actions than those of Mr. Mason and Ms. Flores.
Personally, I do not want to be represented by officials who have so disregarded their positions in the Fresno State community. They have cast a shadow on the students here, and their actions should have real consequences. Since it hasn’t been said yet, I will say it: Mason and Flores need to resign and remove their irresponsibility from our student government.

Marygrace, I know exactly how you feel. It seems as though Mason and Flores don’t have to follow ANY rules. Anyone in any other type of leadership positions like this would have been removed immediately. For example, if someone on the USU board did this, they would have been removed the time it was reported. Organizations should hold people accountable, and I cannot believe that ASI still has not.

I totally agree, Jack. Why they are treated differently than other students in similar positions is beyond me. The Senate needs to do whats right, or they need to resign.

resignation by these two is long overdue it will be a sad day in Fresno State if they actually finish out the year in their positions. Thy should have resigned before the lawsuit was put onto us
