ASUC Update: Patriot 3, CalSERVE 0
Here’s an update on the lawsuit filed by Patriot News Editor Andrew Quinio. The Judicial Council has just ruled on the matter:
ASUC Judicial Council
Direct Judgment
Quinio v. Alvarez
—
It is alleged that Ms. Alvarez used an ASUC resource, specifically an ASUC logo, to enhance the design of a Facebook group profile. As this Facebook profile was specifically created for campaign purposes, use of the ASUC logo constitutes a clear breach of Title IV Article 13.3.7 of the By-laws wherein it is explicitly stated that use of ASUC resources for campaign purposes is illegal . Incontrovertible evidence presented by the plaintiff, Andrew Quinio, showed that Ms. Alvarez did use an ASUC logo as a part of her Facebook design. As such, it is the opinion of the Council that Ms. Alvarez did indeed violate Title IV Article 13.3.7 of the By-laws.

Thus, in light of the facts, the Judicial Council hereby orders that ASUC Senate Candidate Josie Alvarez be issued three censures.
While this case was infinitely less interesting than some others, we can all sleep well knowing that justice has been served. Now release the results.
