Unjust enrichment personified

What is a student leader? 

What is a student volunteer?

Can you be the former without being the latter?

Or can you be both?

I am currently enrolled at this law school which is a state university (although I am not really belittling my school, there really are a lot of shortcomings which makes me sad and mad at the same time) So anyway, it is not one of the best schools in the country. Its amenities are one of the worst, its building (which is in a sort-of dilapidated state) is shared with the high school, grad school and some review centers of the university, the professors are often absent and usually changes the prescribed schedule (class & exams) every now and then, the dean is out of reach( he is based in another part of the country), the staff is sort of unreliable (the TORs, certificate of registration & other papers are either misplaced, misspelled or something), and many other negative attribute. So why am I still enrolled here? Well, I have no choice. After all, it is the only law school in the immediate area and the tuition fee is also affordable.

But what really prompted me to write(which in a way released some of my pent-up feelings) is our College of Law Student Association or CLSA. Why? because of the unreliable, irresponsible and untrustworthy attitudes as well as the  self-serving decrees of its officers. So how can I say this? Well, it was only recently that we learned that the CLSA officers are "exempted" from the CLSA fees of more than P2,000. Now, this may seem minimal to some but the amount inconsequential since it is the principle we are talking about. What I mean to say is that, shouldn't you be an example for your constituents to follow? By that, if you are demanding fees from the student body, then shouldn't you do the same? After all, you are also still a student. And then when you are confronted with this question, you flaunt to us the "loss earnings" you have because you took a leave of absence from work in order to serve the student body in the enrollment?..Oh come on! You already know that by running for the respective offices you are now in, that you are also student volunteers. 

Added to this, when we demanded last year's financial statement  as well as the projected budget for this school year, you cannot even show that? Shouldn't transparency be considered since, technically, it is our money you are spending.

 And what about the tshirts, IDs and booklets we paid for last year that was never given to us. Will it just be called "quits"?! I believe that is not going to happen. You see, even if we are not law students, the term "unjust enrichment" is very basic.  

Furthermore, when some of our classmates withdrawn their enrollments (due to job transfers) last june, shouldn't their CLSA fees be returned since they could not very well enjoy or become part of the acquaintance party, intrams, and other student activities? After all the school itself refunded their tuition fees and yet you refused to do? What a gall.

Even though most of the student body thinks that you are "holier than thou" , some of us don't. Even if there is only a few of us who will fight for this cause, we will still continue to fight. Even though setbacks be thrown our way, we will persevere and pursue because we believe that as long as we will not give up, one day, we will revolutionized this association.

So help us God.
