Is 7/11 less than or more than two thirds? Don’t ask the CSU council.
Councillors debated the issue for an hour and a half, even though some tried to stop debate twice. Delays continued as councillors and the chair attempted to determine if seven out of 11 votes constituted a two-thirds majority. The use of calculators did not help matters, as arguments ensued over the proper rounding technique to use.
Remember, folks, these are university students.
7/11 is 1/33 short of 2/3, but the CSU is definitely more than 2/3 short of a brain.
Dare I ask how many (if any) of these people are math majors?
Heh. They’ll probably tell you that math a tool of evil imperialism, capitalism, Americanism, and Zionism.
Something you neglect to mention:
24 councillors are required to form quorum. 1/3 of quorum is required to pass a resolution. 1/3 of 24 equals 8.
Simple math.
