If Student Association senators want to be nit-picky, they had better be careful.

Perhaps Sen. Jody Jancaric should have written his specific intentions in his resignation, which he says were contingent upon being approved for the Supreme Court. However, he apparently did tell SA Vice President Tanya Smith his plans, she understood and presented it to the senate.

But that wasn’t good enough for some senators, like Sadia Ahmed, who thought the inclusion was necessary and therefore considered Jancaric automatically resigned.

Well all these word games and assumptions of who meant what and why accomplished was the unconditional resignation of a fed-up senator. And who can blame him?

Jancaric was at the end of his rope when the Senate decided to punish him for a trivial matter.

“I didn’t feel like going on because I worked hard for this organization last year, and it didn’t pay off,” he said.

If it was so important to senators that the resignation be clarified, they should have just asked him to clarify it. Choosing Supreme Court justices already has been a circus and this doesn’t help the matter at all when elected senators are turned away on technicalities.

The semester is quickly coming to a close and the senate has enough cleaning up to do without worrying about irrelevant issues.

Let’s hope the Senate makes the time and has the sense to do it.
