First of all, I'm so sorry you are having to deal with this on your campus.. this is so unpleasant
I hope you can feel better soon
My .02 on the issue:
1. If you're going to design an online voting system (or online
anything for that matter) security should ALWAYS be thought of.

The weak-kneed senate quickly agreed, despite the fact that the results for both the CHASS and the CNAS were unaffected by the hackers and that a new election would benefit these activists who chose not to run for senate the first time around.

2. The senate was wrong to hold a new election just because some people decided after the fact they wanted to run and were upset at the outcome. Those election outcomes were unaffected by the hacker, so they are going to go back just to please a handful of students?
gphiangel, if the two organizations that were present at the meeting used words like "Crackers" and "cracker sympathizers" I'm actually surprised the senate took them seriously
3. At the end of the article it talks about how he/she feels the current leaders are incompetent, etc. and that it's time for a long-awaited change in leadership. Is the author talking about Greeks here???
If s/he is, what they need to understand is that on most campuses (can't really speak for the campus in question, but in my own experiences) Greeks make up a HUGE chuck of campus leaders... I can't speak for every Greek, but I know several who are active in numerous organizations, hold Student Government offices, and positions within the University such as Orientation Leaders, Ambassadors, etc.
