AUC students making history!

After thoughts, trials, negotiations and patience with the administration we decided to involve those whom we are trying to defend: AUC Students! We, the Student Union, have been trying endless trials with the Administration to get back students rights either through food services, transportation, registration, declaration and finally access to campus which was resembled in the HUSS gate issue. The student union started its term believing that the administration will be its way to serve, represent, entertain and serve the students however they were the biggest obstacle in the SU's way in achieving these four missions. The HUSS gate was a minor issue that escalated because we felt that this is a matter of PRINCIPLE. Students' voice is being ignored and disregarded. The administration refuses to open the gate after a petition signed by 2500 students other than faculty and staff members who have signed and there were emails sent to us by faculty members wondering about the reasons for the gate being closed. So, AUC students started frantically asking us the SU what are we doing towards solving a problem that obviously is bothering them. Here came the idea of Unity, we united with AUC students having more than 500 students gathering on Thursday the 18th of march at 1 pm at Quick in AUC new campus where we all moved along in one step, one goal, one motive pushing them towards the HUSS gate and they opened it. With force, belief, anger and passion, the gate was finally opened!!! All 500 students were asked for their AUC IDs and miraculously the AUC security officials gathered them all and realized the fact that there is no exact person to punish so they gave our IDs back. Only here I realized that this is not an SU issue, it is an AUC STUDENT BODY issue. AUC students united on one cause and for one reason which is to be heard and get their right back.
We, AUC students, could be easily distracted and scattered, we could be blackberry addicts, we could be care free and shallow we could be any of these stereotypic examples of AUCians yet if we unite on one goal, if we decide to be one for once and for all then a difference will happen, a gate will open and we will be finally heard!!!

AUC students have made history again!!
