While we're looking for discussion topics...

There is currently a movement at the University of Texas at Austin to abolish
the university's student government.  Those opposed to student government
claim that the organization doesn't really do anything and is a waste of
money.  Two anti-government student organizations, Students Tired of
Manipulative Politics (STOMP) and Committee to Retire Aspiring Politicians
(CRAP), claim they have enough petition signatures to bring the issue to
a referendum election this semester.

This has happened at UT before and at least one other university I know of
(North Texas State).  Has this happened at other universities and if so
what was the outcome?
