Hey, everybody—It is necessary to inform you that a mistake was made in the attribution of this article. It appeared as though we reported that Dare Thompson said Dr. Farahi controls Student Org, and this MUST be clarified.
Dare did not, in fact, say that. He told us that Student Org faces friction as a department at Kean, and that it is more difficult for the Org to operate now than three years ago before the change-over took place—but he never explained the nature of this added difficulty. Considering that Dr. Farahi is the highest-ranking Administrator at Kean University, and that Dare admits to new problems with SO since becoming a department within the administration, you may understand how this mistake occurred.
I also would like to stress that, in writing that article, I did not intend to make it appear that Dare did make a comment about Dr. Farahi: In all seriousness, if I was in possession of such a quote, it would be printed in the largest font that Blogger allows, bold, italicized, and—of course—in quotations. This information was my analysis of the situation, an attempt to 'connect the dots,' if you will.
That having been said, I would like to remind you all that Dare is a "Solution-based President," and that he is "For the students." He says that he is not afraid of the Administration and that he does not care about the them because the students are his priority.
So, to Dare as well as the rest of the Kean Student Body—
Please accept our apology. This article will be reposted shortly with the appropriate changes made to it.

Welcome Back, Ladies and Gentlemen!
Welcome back, everybody, to the Spring 2011 semester at Kean University.
We hope that you all had an enjoyable break from frantic, late-night paper-writing and exam-cramming: We certainly did.
What we did not take a break from, however, is our pursuit to enhance the students' voice here at Kean—and we are proud to unveil the next bend in the path that TBK has been cutting through the bureaucratic brush that has overgrown our campus. That's right: now that we've gotten your attention (Over 1700 page views in the last two months of the fall semester, and plenty of emails, comments and questions), we aim to put it to good use.
Being college students in New Jersey, I know you are all familiar with Rutgers University in New Brunswick. What you may not know is that over the last couple years, Rutgers students have gone viral in an attempt to influence administrative decisions. They founded a group called the Rutgers Student Union to both unify their massive student body and project a solid, unwavering, message of their dissatisfaction with the way their school functioned.
Once the Student Union was well-grounded, it became a breeding ground for Student Government candidates. After the most-recent elections, Student Union members control the entire Student Government at Rutgers, and the Union has become an honest-to-god forum for the student body to interact with that government. It is a step in the direction of the very first democracies, much like the Athenian City-State in Ancient Greece, where everyone has a voice and everyone is heard (or, at least, read on the internet).
Check out their Facebook Page: (Rutgers Student Union | Facebook)
If something like this could work at the largest state-school in NJ, why not here at Kean?
Remember, everybody, we're not crazy or maniacal, or even vengeful. We're students, just like you, who are shoveling our way through the snow towards graduation one class at a time. All we want is a chance to speak up and, just maybe, make a difference.
