@sides. Interesting question but I'm not so sure it's an issue of sides as it relates to the administration as the issues at hand in my mind are equity and plain old fashioned justice. So, on a simplistic level I would expect the administration to be on the side of 'justice' but I do think they have a special duty of care as it relates to the students of Cal and their interests. This might be highly idealistic but I would expect any administration to make sure that any student organization is well advised and in the case of complex legal issues to have solid legal counsel. Realizing this is a bit unrealistic as most of the administration have a rough time getting out of bed in the am it then falls to the local house board and alumni counsel to make sure the interests of the local are adequately protected. If I've learned anything here at Cal its that you have to take care of yourself as there really is nobody looking out for you and if somehow there might be an official there that their interests might not align with mine. Sad but true. I don't know all the facts in the AOPi case but if it were clear that the house or chapter assets were bought, paid for and maintained by the local then I would expect the administration to respect the facts of the case and provide support accordingly. I did read the final opinion in the Minnesota case and found it quite enlightening as it related to what I would term 'character' issues related to national.
