SGA walk-out was out of line

 

                  While I feel that Dave Johnson and Samuel Pierog made a strong argument about receiving funding of nearly $500, I would like to state that the behavior portrayed by Mr. Johnson was far from appropriate, especially coming from a person holding a leadership position. So putting the issue of funding and even the name and constitution change entirely aside, the way Mr. Johnson acted towards SGA members was that of someone who obviously could not accept constructive criticism and other people’s arguments. This in mind, I would be worried that because of Mr. Johnson’s angry attitude and most likely further animosity towards SGA and its members, is that it will negatively affect that social and business relationship. When a person responds to others with some obviously anger-filled and flippant remarks and to then slam down their laptop and walk out of an official meeting it doesn’t show characteristics of a leader. In fact quite the opposite. Again, while I would have given High Society the funding they asked for, because I do in fact believe they would use it in order to further improve their club, I feel that the way Mr. Johnson behaved displayed poor character and promotes further hostility between High Society and SGA.
