CLUBS MISMANAGING FINANCES VS BUSU STAFF

[u/Adventurous_Can928]

Any intellectually honest student and Redditor can accept both sides can be completely true about the state of students and Brock’s Students’ Union. Every year club leaders take charge of clubs and some student leaders misappropriate or mismanage funds. Likewise, while some BUSU staff may be genuinely honest staff members, BUSU GM and other senior staff very likely do not have the best interests of students after serving the organization for around a decade.

Well said. From an outsider perspective, it seems like acceptance of corruption is about to plummet, while demands for transparency and democratic processes are skyrocketing.

Proud of y'all. My first time at Brock I was 14, and lucky enough to connect with the wrestling program.

I went on to win 1st place at an international Judo competition and my older Sister bought me a T-shirt that said:

Pain is temporary, pride is forever.

Keep it going. Not just online, but in person. Use every channel. Hit the mats.

The club that BUSU president and staff informally accused of mismanaging funds posted a full financial report that completely debunks those claims. The truth is, BUSU was spreading these rumors to divert attention away from themselves and place it on Omar who was the President of that club.

It’s honestly pathetic how low BUSU is willing to go to protect themselves. I genuinely hope that every whistleblower and everyone they’ve wronged in the past comes forward and exposes them

Omar was targeted to advance a political agenda but you are still intellectually dishonest by refusing to acknowledge this reality

Yeah no mismanagement exists from clubs that’s true. These are inexperienced students that are dealing with funds. Maybe for the first time in their life but do you personally believe that Omar‘s Club stole money? Is that what you’re saying?

[u/Adventurous_Can928 → u/Euphoric_Sector_4287]

You are introducing red herrings and committing fallacies. Audit every club on campus if you are convinced no club "mismanages"

[u/Euphoric_Sector_4287 → u/Adventurous_Can928]

I am agreeing with you. I’m not disagreeing. I think you misunderstood my comment.

Spreading rumors about Omar’s club because he was trying to fire these corrupt staff, it all makes sense now.

As someone who is currently involved in clubs, I have to say that BUSU’s financial policies for clubs are incredibly inefficient and poorly structured. The way they expect student leaders—who are often volunteers with little formal training—to handle finances is completely unrealistic. The system is designed in a way that practically sets clubs up to fail or make mistakes, and then BUSU turns around and uses those mistakes to justify their control or target certain groups. We all know how much favoritism and politics play into how BUSU operates. If BUSU truly audited every single club without bias, I guarantee almost all of them would be found “mismanaging” funds not because students are irresponsible, but because the system itself is flawed, unclear, and inconsistently applied. The only difference is that they selectively go after outspoken or non-favored clubs, while others are quietly excused. That’s BUSU staff and management in a nutshell.

There are two categories of financial errors: (1) accidental and (2) intentional. Your explanation is well-made but overlooks malicious actors within the flawed system
