This is really not a fair statement. This was a minority view, and an argument based on the perception of some, the loudest ones of course. The truth lies in the middle. The administration was looking at hiring someone to oversee a broad spectrum of student activities. That person would not have run the Union but the Union, arguably, would have had to report to that person (RPI is no longer going to hire this person). From a business operation point of view, it would be mismanagement in my view to not have someone in administration who can assure the trustees - who is ultimately responsible for costs and liabilities for the Union - that things are properly managed. All colleges, I repeat, all colleges have some level of conflict between students and the administration. It’s like not liking you boss I suppose.
