Why do some people feel like they don't have the right to be happy? How can someone allow themselves to be treated poorly? What happens to a person who sabotages her/himself time and time again?

MSSC was also concerned with the idea that the diversity officer would be the representative for diversity issues on campus, just as chair of Academic Affairs is representative of students on all academic issues, SAC chair for all activities issues, etc. One person could not represent "diversity" and all the social awareness groups, because of the broadness of the concept and issues of diversity. There are several advantages to having a diversity officer. For instance, there would be a person on SGA Executive Board specifically focusing on diversity related issues. And also being on SGA Executive Board, this person could offer suggestions and bring concerns 10 all branches of SGA. Lastly, there would be increased communication between SGA and diversity groups.
