GUEST ROOM | What Does OSCCS Stand For? Not Students, Not Community

By Opinion Department · Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025

Despite our good-faith compliance with OSCCS’s procedures, an office that promises due process, student justice and democratic governance kept us in the dark. After 52 days of silence, merely one day after the announcement of our fall recruitment schedule, we were struck with a temporary suspension. There was no room for negotiation, discourse or the opportunity to defend ourselves. We write this guest column not to absolve our responsibility to improve our organization, but rather to convey a broader concern: the undemocratic nature of OSCCS harms the very student body that it claims to serve.
