Please give the members a chance to vote on this decision. I feel that with a new board and some hard work, we can get SEK back to its formal glory. No society is perfect, but honestly this one can be rebuilt. Especially with people who honestly care.

I am confused at why so many are leaving, and why we would even have to consider doing away with SEK. would really like answers. Members should not be kept in the dark.

The group should not have to suffer due to the actions of corrupt individuals. We should be allowed to reorganize and remain an active part of Ashford online life

This was suppose to be a reply to Melinda Kirk comment.

Ever organization faces and deals with some form of ethic issues, lying, stealing, bullying, social and profession cliques, it how they are discovered, the means to address them that is important. I agree, just because there may be a few bad apples does not necessarily mean the entire tree is rotten nor should it be cut down. Again I state this, AU teaches us this in many of their OM/PSY/HRM/ SOC classes. So my point if AU can teach us from books how an organization should operate and the challenges many face in the real world, empower us as students to make vital changes from an education point of view, than why not stand by their teachings and gives the opportunity to put our learning to use, is this not what many of us our paying for?

I agree, again I will say ! there should be a formed committee non EB that is neutral to both ex members and SEK, EB members, some kind of HR committee to reach out to missing, non participating active members and/or resigned members to find out what happen be in their personal, professional, educational life that kept them away, or has made them feel the way they do, this includes finding ways to help, finding what ideas could be placed to change and prevent these emotional decisions. If we do not know what is going on we will never know what or where the problems are or how to address them.

We are an organization still in a toddler stage- being less than 5 yrs old, like a toddlers we are learning about our strengths, weakness, discovering our opportunities, and uncovering our threats. We are growing into our next phase of growth with newly revised policies to weed out issues that threatens our organization and weaken us, while offering opportunities to empower other types of leaders skills to give us guidance towards maturity and success. We are learning to adapt to cultural changes, working together, support creative thinking. building relationships of courage and empowerment. No one organization can be successful without first working out the kins, glitches, nor be without conflicts. Ashford teaches us that conflicts can be positive aspect, empowering is important, and with all my education with AU this organization is no different than any other Society, we deserve a fair chance to grow, they should be advising and engaging us in our success since they are the parent/overseer, meaning we cannot do anything without their approval, we have follow their policies and guidelines.

I would like to see this continued. Very sad!
