When [the special election] happened and I had to make the choice to run again, I realized that I didn't want to be on Student Council anymore, mostly because I did a lot of work, and I don't have room in my schedule.
Appointments chair is a position with an unreasonably disproportionate amount of power.
Fortunately, the system I had set up allowed room for this lag. But all that has now been worked out, and no new appointments are needed until the end of this semester.
The point of an election is to evaluate someone's performance — my performance as appointments chair, for example, to which the database that I developed is substantially connected. My performance as appointments chair was rejected by the student body.
Because no appointments need to be made until the end of this semester, not having a database now does not hurt anyone or complicate anything. So I don't feel bad about holding onto the database until these larger questions about the role of Student Council are answered.
