Today the University of Florida was finally forced to respond on the merits for the first time to the SOLVe lawsuit, almost exactly 13 months after the first documents were filed (more than 16 months since the first signatures were collected!) In their brief, the University argues that they have unlimited power in SG matters and no matter how outrageous their decision might be, that SG isn’t “real” and so no student could actually be injured by anything they do. They also claim that the University hasn’t actually taken any final action on the Online Voting Amendment, a claim anyone who has signed the petition or helped SOLVe should find hilarious.
