It was very honorable of you to take this lame duck position until the College is able to find a suitable replacement for this important role. While I have your attention, I would also like to bring up some points of contention regarding your recent letter to the Undergraduate Council, which announced your tyrannical decision to abolish our party grants. First off, you forgot about your noble position as Interim Dean...
