Is Our SGA President Learning (to Communicate)?

David Kirkpatrick took to the pages of the school paper today to press for faculty to be more responsive to students. Next up he'll no doubt argue on behalf of puppies, mothers and America. But even in the midst of his largely yawn-inducing letter a couple things stood out. For example, there was his odd slam at the faculty:

The continuous dissatisfaction from the Faculty Senate suggests faculty members aren’t happy with their jobs, and they are unappreciative of the improvements that have been made in their favor this year. Yet they teach students that it is a privilege to be part of this University?

Ummm, since when is it the job of any faculty member to a) rejoice at the status quo, b) express satisfaction at marginal improvements, or c) teach students that "it is a privilege to be part of this University". But at least I could follow that odd argument. Does anyone know what the following means?

The division of administration, faculty, staff and students hinders WVU’s potential to make the best decisions for everyone.

I'm not entirely clear on that one.
