5/5 csua is for current students and alumi. but what about people who
are neither? say i have a friend from ucsd who wants to post on
motd/wall. it can't be done, right? fine. how about former ucb
students who still use the system but don't fall into either
categories anymore? shouldn't they get the same treatment?
\_ All former UCB students are "alumni"
\_ alunmi=people who have diplomas.
\_ Not according to the Alumni Association
\_ There's a reason Texas A&M has an "Association
of Former Students."
\_ what, they're too stupid to know what
"alumni" actually means?
\_ Considering the goal of the alumni association is to get
donations from alumni, it makes sense for them to define
alumni rather broadly.
\_ question for you: how much did tom donate in the past
12 years when he got a cushy job, bought a house,
and spent $$$ on bike equips while we starving
students had to put up with his abuse?
\_ I've donated more than you, almost certainly.
And I think the CSUA is still using my boombox.
-tom
\_ how is that in conflict with the CSUA's goals?
\_ According to the places that matter, including oxford, alumni
is someone who "went" to a school, took a class. You do not
have to finish. Technically, I am an alum of caltech.
\_ fuck oxford. Berkele>Oxford.
\_ awsome, I'm a Furd alum as well! -SITN taking forever
\_ Did you flameout, too? -ausman caltech (82-84)
I think you have to matriculate to be considered alum
btw, not just "take a class."
\_ the weird thing about CAA is that anyone who took
12 units at any UC is eligible to join as a lifetime
member; I don't think this is the case for any other
UC alumni association
\_ alumni maintain presence after graduation, but only current
berkeley students/faculty/staff may join the csua.
\_ Why boot a member who left UCB before graduation? They probably
know people here.
\_ because the person is referring to tom.
\_ If true, that won't work anyway, since I'm current staff. -tom
\_ staff of what, soda hall's IT or UC Regents IT? If the
ladder, it won't count.
\_ I think you're wrong. Should be all UCB staff. Tom's
an example of UCB staff. |
