Furthermore, we wholly support Delaney’s commitment to changing the internal structure of the UA, which did not seem to be shared — certainly not to the same extent — by Kim. After the recent impeachment debacle, it’s clear that something needs to be improved internally, and we believe that Delaney’s plans to empower other UA members through a more horizontal structure will be crucial to making the necessary changes.
At the end of the day, this isn’t about House of Cards politics. People aren’t pawns, they’re people.

New York City lore says: If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. Penn students have proven that we can make it in New York. Why don’t we want to go anywhere else?
We need to demonstrate to the Hillel of Greater Philadelphia that maliciously stifling its member groups is not acceptable.
If the ARCH building was flying the Rising Sun Flag by itself, I would probably advocate taking it down. Flying flags have always been a symbol of the present: who owns this ship, this fort, this hill, this public building. But when it’s a part of the walls, it’s a part of history.

Clearly we have decided as a society that, in principle, the Government has a compelling interest in disallowing certain religious observances when they counteract the public good.
We think that by taking our problems lightly-by turning our insecurities into just another competitive game, we can minimize whatever is really going on.
