The bloated acronym-octopus– so confusing it needs a bloated, meaningless metaphor to represent it– that is OoSA/OSGA/SGB (Office of Student Affairs/Office of Student Group Advising/Student Governing Board) has a new dean. Todd Smith’s job is to guard SGB (recently gobbled up by OoSA/OSGA) from administration influence. His credentials include eight years as NYUDotOoLGBT/TSS (New York University’s Director of the Office of Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender/Transsexual Student Services). SGB reps are giddy about their new defender, who starts work February 25th.

@alexw Fire this asshole immediately and spend the money on groups.
My groups.
@You sir seem to be quite pissy of late.
@Wtf SGB = student governing board.
OSGA = office of student group advising.
They’re separate acronyms for separate organizations. The SDA also falls under the Office of Student Affairs, but you don’t call it Oosa/sda/abc do you?
Come on, it’s not that hard.
@yes it is that hard.
not the distinction between those two, but between all the cu administrative acronyms and what they actually do.
@ugh please fix the em dashes on the homepage; they show up as question marks:
“The bloated acronym-octopus�so confusing it needs a bloated, meaningless metaphor to represent it�that is OoSA/SGA/SGB”
even better, stop using them. they’re ugly and superfluous.
@JJV What browser/OS are you using?
