I get what you're trying to do by being a watchdog and such, which is noble and everything, except your 'articles' sound too one-sided and are written with a 'ha ha! got you!' attitude. I feel like you're trying to find anything and everything wrong with UOSA and picking it apart in the most immature, unprofessional way. Where's the view from 'the other side'? Where are the students' views? Have you ever given a thought to how apathetic most students are towards UOSA?
I would rather read REAL investigatory journalism about a real scam instead of some snide article about violations of a website being under construction, or read an article about how maybe students don't care at all about UOSA and therefore don't think you're any more noble about "exposing" the study government.
Just a thought. Because this UOSA stuff is getting pretty old and boring. You aren't roasting anyone, you're boring us.

It's about time you took responsibility for how much you've driven this paper into the ground. Of course, you are one small piece of the puzzle, but as the editor-in-chief, it begins with you.
I hope that this apology is a sign for MUCH better things next year.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Daily is trying to fail? I would also like to point out that besides the fact that Matt Bruenig is a columnist for this "paper" (and had a column right below this on in the printed version, bad planning guys), Shayna Daitch--who doesn't seem to be a recognizable influence based off your description anyway--is good friends with editor-in-chief Jamie Hughes.
This list is pointless. Just like the paper itself.

This is a fine column, Brooke. While I do sense a tad bit of bitterness, I think it takes guts to write a column like this and have it published--especially when you know you'll get a lot of heat about it. In the end, someone is always going to be offended but I don't think those who are greek should take this too seriously. It IS satire, it's not meant to be completely serious. Yes, it uses exaggerated generalizations but that's the point...as "somebody" said above. Sometimes you just have to laugh it off.

I hope they make some "campaignes" to "chjange" their ways!

At the end of the day, this column is going to continue to run in the Daily, more specifically the Life and Arts section. And those who have something negative to say will keep saying it, their minds unchanged. And those who have something more positive to say will keep saying that, their own minds unchanged. But no matter what anyone says, positive or negative, Bryan is going to continue to wake up every day--ready to smile, love, and treat everyone with kindness. (As stated near the end of his column.) I think we know the real winner here.

And this is a column that was in the LIFE AND ARTS section of the NEWSPAPER, not the NEWS section of the paper. L&A is a very acceptable place for this column, as it falls under the LIFE part of the LIFE AND ARTS title.

This was wonderful, Bryan. I applaud the courage it took to write this and how open and honest you were. You're truly an amazing person, and don't let anyone make you feel differently!

I'm glad that you now feel you have to CONVINCE us that these UOSA stories should matter to students. For me, and for other students I've talked to as well, it's not just a response of "who cares" it's also a response of being discontent with the way The Daily is covering all this.
Look, I get that students should care about UOSA and what it's doing; and it's fabulous that you're trying to make that happen by showing what it's doing wrong and making students aware. But perhaps the bigger picture really is the fact that students don't care. Maybe an article that truly covered the apathy of students could make the UOSA realize that they need to change their ways entirely? Wasn't it two years ago that the UOSA was left with many empty seats because no one wanted to run for a representative? And let's not forget the time we only had one presidential and vice-presidential candidate. It's already been pretty blatant that less and less people care about UOSA, and that's UOSA's fault.
I agree that we need to make sure UOSA is doing their job, but I'm not sure the way you're doing it is the best. It just feels too forced, like you're shoving it in our face. It's reaching a point where you're beating a dead horse. And no one likes that.
