...current UC has been able to do only one thing well: advocacy. During just the last two years the UC has helped bring us 24-hour access to Lamont Library, increased meal options, universal key card access, and a brand new café in Lamont Library. These were all things we wanted, and the UC secured them by advocating for us. At the same time, however, the UC has proved that it is unable to support student groups, create a functional and useful website, organize a cohesive student events calendar, or even reimburse promised funds within a reasonable time frame...
