Editor’s column: Why I threw a fit over a closed-door student government meeting

The Rocky Mountain Collegian (Fort Collins): Last Wednesday, for the first time after two years of covering CSU’s student government, I spoke on the floor during a meeting.

I said something along the lines of: “We’re not going to leave; the press will stay here.”

The Associated Students of Colorado State University’s senate is currently in the process of attempting to impeach the student body president. But, they don’t seem to want to tell anyone why they’re trying to impeach him. On Wednesday, they tried to call an “executive session,” in order to discuss the alleged violations without the public – including journalists – present.

My stance prevented ASCSU from going into executive session. As a work around, they read the titles of the violations, omitting evidence that would let us know why he’s being impeached.
