<p>Hello ASU,<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I am proud of your efforts at promoting African heritage in the diaspora. However, you might want to know that ignorance is a disease that knows no geographical or socio-economic endowments. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>It might interest you to know that most people in the world today believe that AFRICA is only one tiny, insignificant country where man and animal still compete for a space on tree top at bed time. This and many other grandmother tales about other cultures
abound in much of the the "enlightened" world. As an African proverb posits, "he who has never ventured a visit to another's farm tend to hold on to the false belief that his father's farm is the biggest in the whole wide world". In other words, travelling
is an essential part of education - (experiential learning). Simply put, what you don't know you simply don't know.</p>

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">To minimize this type of unpleasant incident in the future, perhaps
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ASU might want </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">to lift many above</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ignorance</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> by organizing a</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ppropriate
educ</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">ational programs and international/cultural exchange programs</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> that focus on African countries and cultures.</span><br>
</div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br>
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The words of our elders are words of wisdom (more valuable than to "google it").</span></div>

<div>Dear ASU, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On Monday, 9th of February, the ISU President, Phally Chroy was impeached following the letter of impeachment tendered to the ISU by ASU.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As a result of Chroy's allegations of corruption against ASU, ASU filed a letter of impeachment providing evidence that proved Chroy's allegations false. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>A disciplinary committee was formed in which Chroy's claims against ASU were found false and Chroy, unanimously impeached. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Following Chroy's appeal to the General Board (GB) of ISU, the GB, as a result of a simple majority vote, voted to remove Chroy out of his position as President. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yesterday, ASU was vindicated. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But something else happened yesterday. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yesterday, ASU reiterated our commitment to serve and protect the integrity of Africans and the African continent here at Ohio University and the world over.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We will NOT allow our reputation, which we have so diligently worked to build over the years, to be merely tarnished by any entity.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Most importantly, we will continue to work tirelessly to protect the esteemed reputation of Africans and the African continent, now and in the years to come.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Proudly in the Spirit of African Unity, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tolu. A. </div>
