Editor,
ASUNM President Ashley Fate talks out of both sides of her mouth in "Fee board clashes over chair's actions," published in the Daily Lobo on Wednesday.
First, Fate complained that Tuesday, a school day, is a bad day for students to participate in a meeting where their student fees are allocated to various departments. Also, that's when the Student Fee Review Board is scheduled to meet.
Then, Fate goes on to say that she prefers the SFRB meet during intersession and on weekends.
Come again?
Did I miss something?

Is the ASUNM president suggesting that holding a meeting during intersession, when no student is on campus, or even on weekends, when almost no student is on campus, will draw more students to participate in the process than on a school day?
It sounds to me like Fate wants the SFRB to act like the Board of Regents, which raises tuition during intersession. If the article is right, the board has been meeting in secret during intersession and on weekends to spend our
student fees.
Shame on you, Fate.
