DAAP may be right that the campaigning-in-dorms rule shouldn't apply here, though the reasoning in this piece isn't quite accurate. That's the sort of thing you'd argue in a hearing, instead of pissing and moaning about how having to argue it is unfair. I like the "assume the elections are fair" approach they seem to be proposing. I hope they apply it to issues such as university admissions. Has the definition of “satire” changed recently?
