The ASUO Constitution Court dismissed a grievance against the Ducks Like You campaign yesterday. The grievance, filed by Mighty Oregon campaign advisor Evan Roth, was dismissed due to a lack of evidence.

The grievance accused Ducks Like You volunteers of intimidation and harassment.

“The court hereby admonishes any campaign that is allowing this type of behavior to occur,” Constitution Court Chief Justice Allison Apana wrote in an email. “And should this type of uncivil behavior actually be occurring, all campaigns are hereby put on notice to take immediate action to stop such behavior and to inform anyone involved in their campaigns that this type of behavior is unacceptable.”

Although the grievance was dismissed the Constitution Court emphasizes the severity of any campaigns engaging in harassment or intimidation.

“I can understand the Constitution Court’s ruling about the lack of evidence,” Roth said. “It was good to see that they understand that it’s a serious issue and will be taking these claims seriously.”

The Ducks Like You campaign responded to the grievance Wednesday night, denying that there was any evidence to back up Mighty Oregon’s claims.

“We take issues of people feeling safe seriously, and if the statements Mighty Oregon claimed were true we would have dealt with them accordingly,” Ducks Like You Campaign Manager Helena Schlegel said. “(The) Constitution Court ruled in the right due to the false allegations and lack of evidence.”
