Despite the UQLS’s affliction for matriarchy, general membership relieved to see that treasury will remain managed by the finance bros.

For the last decade, the UQLS has enjoyed an inclusive policy that retains the position of Treasurer exclusively for white men.

While some have critiqued saying things like “why is it seemingly always a white guy who is treasurer,” or “lol seriously this is some bizarre pattern every other leadership role is open to anyone”, we at The Obiter firmly believe in the policy as it gives power to an incredibly marginalised group: white men.

We reached out to Tim for comment.

“I’m really grateful for this affirmative action policy. It really gave me hope as a first year that I could break the glass ceiling using my knowledge of Xero and budgeting. ”

The policy is also protected by the fact that the position of Treasurer is hereditary. The Obiter is excited to see which number crunching white guy Tim will appoint as Finance Officer 2024 - or should we say, who Tim will appoint as Treasurer 2025.

No more to come.
