    “Student first, leader second” pretty much describes Mackee Mason, and this debacle, to a T.

    I believe that both President Mackee Mason and Executive Vice President Sandra Flores should be removed from their position. They represent us to the university which now makes us look worse and They abused their positions and privileges. They may have done us good in the past but when making a serious crime such as this, they ruin our representation of our school and of us as the students because of their actions which stands on our shoulders because of their laps of judgment. Do you really think that parents would want their kids come to a place were the president of ASI allows under 21 year old to drink. Does not set a good example.

    Mackee hasn’t done anything positive at Fresno State unless showing the entire student body and community a PSA on what not to do and just how stupid he is. If that is what you are talking about, then I totally agree. Mackee is a danger to the rest of the student body and society in general due to his criminal history. What is he going to steal next? Is he hanging out around the bike racks or is he stealing paper towels from the bathrooms. Or maybe even worse yet, he will steal computer paper from the printers. Never underestimate a person so revoltingly disgusting and vile that nobody can look him in the face with vomiting all over the place. Truly an abhorrent individual.

    Mackee has given the students nothing of any value during his God awful time in his position. He should be in solitary confinement at San Quentin for what he did. Only a maximum security prison can shield his filth from the rest of the students at Fresno State who actually are at school to get an education and graduate, not become the next criminal profiled on MSNBC’s Lockup show. With the way “My name sounds like a farm animal” Mackee is going, he will be on there in no time.

    It seems to me that some need to read the letters written by Mackee and Sandra, available on the ASI web site. There never was any intention of stealing money, nor has ANY money been taken from the students. The oversight was addressed. Maybe some should look to what Mackee has given the students over the years, not at a corrected mistake.

    IMPEACH MASON & FLORES! Impeach the Senate!Sep 23, 2008 at 11:56 am

    President Mackee Mason and Executive Vice President Sandra Flores should RESIGN. If not, the ASI Senate should IMPEACH them. If not, then the student body should impeach the SENATE with MASON and FLORES. What a disgrace!

    Who cares about these two subhuman animals???? They need to be locked up at Pelican Bay or San Quentin. The students who go to Fresno State who actually want to get an education and not be criminals don’t need to associate with these two filthy losers. Get rid of them before they contaminate the air that other students are trying to breathe.

    I believe she was terminated, most likely as retaliation for bringing out this stuff. I’m sure we’ll hear more once the lawsuit(s) are filed. Its really sad. 🙁

    What about Annie Tremp? What’s the status on her? You first reported she was laid off with admin. pay. Now, when you call over to ASI, they say that she’s no longer available. Why? Why is Mason and Flores still available, but Annie Tremp is not? What’s the story on her job?

    After watching a video posted on this website, Mackee Mason and Sandra Flores looked like they just stuck their hands in the cookie jar and got caught. A quote from Mackee Mason found on the Fresno State Interfraternity Council Website said “I plan on being able to make everyone feel involved in ASI. Obviously, not all students are going to be unified, but if you can get the majority of them to say something, that’s the major thing. We have to figure out a way to keep our students involved.â€Â Mackee Mason Well Mr. Mason, congratulations you did get the majority of students to say something, but now it’s not to your liking. The reason they are not giving interviews is because they don’t have valid explanations for what they have done. They have misused my money, I like to see my tuition go towards education and student life, and that includes ASI. When my funds are used improperly it causes me to take notice, and there is much more than just alcohol problems such as wrongful firing, and other improper uses of ASI funds. What happened to their open door policy? When times get rough that door doesn’t seem to be as open anymore.
