At the ASG Senate meeting on the 19th of November, Bill Pulte actually was confirmed by the Senate. In this way, Pulte’s appointment was done like any other midterm appointment with exactly the same oversight as is used to fill any vacancy.
Moreover, to claim that this position was created through an undemocratic process is not wholly accurate. This position was originally created last year through the explicit consent of more than two thirds of Senate. Additionally, in the future, this position will be elected by the senate in a similar way to how many executive board members are currently elected.
If you would like to fact check these editorials in the future, please feel free to contact me.

Fact: This past spring, Bill Pulte was the campaign manager for Neal Sales-Griffin’s opponent, Blake Yocum. Prior to the VP Selection process, they had met 3 times.
Fact: Bill Pulte has never been a member of ISBE, let alone affiliated with ISBE.
Fact: Both the VP and HR Director positions were confirmed by elected ASG senators, as seen in the ASG Code amendments passed this past spring.
Fact: The VP appointment was made by not solely by Neal Sales-Griffin, but also by the Academic VP, Student Services VP, External Relations Director, and Community Relations Director, with whom the VP directly works with.
Fact: It’s spelled “Neal,” not “Neil.” C’mon, Daily. You can’t get your facts right, but at the very least, spell the guy’s name correctly. NBN seems to be able to. http://www.northbynorthwestern.com/category/1-content/northwestern/on-campus/the-purple-line/#14024
Fact: The Daily should be embarrassed for publishing an editorial with so many misstated facts and complete falsehoods.
