Council member Jan Lehman clarifies myths. AUSU council member Jan Lehman invites students for a conversation. Jan indicates several myths. For instance, unlike popular belief, it isn’t the case that any student can join a student union and impact change, as constraints include “team dynamics, resourcefulness, internal or external pressures, procedural complications, and time limitations.” Jan also indicates that students do not receive information about current issues and tend to become aware of problems once they are impacted. Jan also says that AUSU runs The Voice Magazine, not the students.
