    Didnt hear them laughing at it and the one older lady going “ohhh you” as if he does this all the time to children?
    Cause they are accpeting of it. It comes from being bigger than the allegations.

      It wasn’t just “a child”, it was a fellow board member. Guy has zero respect for the office, the students, or women generally speaking.

        I honestly don’t get how that makes it worse. Like, doing this to a board member is worse??? I don’t get this stance at all.

          I think they meant the “oh you” comment was from a board member. The article says he said it to a student.

          Doing this to some random student is gross.

          Doing this to another board member is also gross. But it signifies a kind of structural disrespect that undermines the office as well as the individual. It’s symptomatic of a general institutional disgust for student involvement in school affairs.

          Like Bush Jr doing the creepy shoulder rub on Angela Merkel or - in a more extreme example - UN staffers who were “approached, accosted and raped” by fellow officials and dignitaries. It isn’t merely a personal transgression. It undermines the entire function of the representative body.
