I know as a law student I tend to shut myself off from the outside world while it gets closer to finals.
Former Senate President pro tempore Jason Tiemeier’s apology, while well overdue, leaves much to be desired.
Our Student Body President, Anthony Reynolds, recently wrote to the Alligator that he "cannot, in good conscience, spend student fee money on expenses that do not go to serving UF students."
Last Tuesday, the Unite Party engaged in some of the most disgusting, blatantly corrupt behavior I have seen in my time in Senate.
This past summer, when many students were gone studying abroad, doing internships and relaxing at home, the Unite Party was busy pushing through corrupt, tyrannical legislation.
