a perfect example of aglogic and agspeak....
https://www.kbtx.com/2024/04/11/families-reflect-potential-return-aggie-bonfire-am-campus/
here's the closing paragraph (emphasis mine)
+++
"Despite the differing perspectives there is a shared sentiment among these families that the revival of Aggie Bonfire, if undertaken, will entail significant changes and challenges. They express hope that the committee tasked with this decision will address their concerns effectively and navigate the complexities to ensure a meaningful and safe experience for all involved.
"The committee has a difficult job addressing all the concerns and hopefully they’ll be able to resolve the issues and be able to proceed with the new bonfire experience,” said Richard.
Texas A&M University has confirmed that no action has been taken regarding the regent’s proposal to bring back the bonfire. Any potential reinstatement would need to adhere to the university’s settlement agreement with the affected families, which includes provisions for professional oversight to ensure safety and accountability."

The differing perspectives are from the parent(s) of 3 of the dead
That's it
3 differing perspectives
2 of those parent(s) want the stack back with university control. The other is concerned about the return of the stack WITH TOO MUCH ADMINISTRATION INTERFERENCE
And that's it. That's the full rundown of the "complexities" which will have to be "navigated"
That last paragraph is like reading the aggy version of NewSpeak.
Then, in the last sentence we see something I have never seen in print or in video: in order for the return of stack, aggy (allegedly) negotiated provisions for professional oversight in the settlement agreement (which one?) with the families (which ones?)
Thus begins the quest which may result in the need to "file a freedom of information" (TM-texags 2024)
Does anyone have access to or a copy of the document(s) defining these "negotiated provisions"?????????
here's the full article spoiled but you can skip ahead to the next spoiled article because, wait, there's moar!

there are 10 different tangents in that article from 15 years ago that need discussion
i don't remember reading that article although i'm sure in 2009 during the heyday of Shag1 it was probably posted but no one gave a shit because the 2002 report that cited institutional juvenile delusion and a culture of obsession seemed to have put to bed forever the idea of killing more kids
the immediate segue from the kbtx article 2 das ago is this: i want to see these alleged provisions for professional oversight to ensure safety and accountability supposedly memorialized 15 years ago in the university’s settlement agreement with the affected families
that would likely require a fully public disclosure of a legal settlement in court 15 years ago between citizens and a public university
which should be public
and accessible
