Brian was a Co-Chair of the [[Honor Board]] for [[Winter 2008|Winter]] and [[Spring 2008]].  It kept him busy.  Most notably, he spearheaded work to overhaul the Honor Board Constitution and Procedural Guidelines, in the process making bitter enemies with President [[Roger Taylor]], who believes that his personal convenience is more important than the needs of students whose academic futures are at stake.  He [[Honor Board Resignation 2008|resigned in protest]] on 30 April 2008.  He also did work on [[Grievance Panel]] reform.

Brian ran for [[Student Senate]] President for the 2007-2008 school year on a platform of significant reform to Senate in order to make it more democratic and more responsive.  He intended to optimize Senate's institutional advantages to give students as much oversight as possible and as they are willing to accept, and also to ensure that Senate can function independently in effectively representing the general student body.  He got trounced.
 
 
 
While he was not on Senate his senior year, he attended all the meetings and was more active than most senators. His involvement raised the ire of several administrators and the Senate Executive Board.  He wrote the resolution that created the [[Senate Records Committee Chair]]; it was only passed because nobody knew he wrote it.  He once rewrote the Student Senate Constitution.  More than one [[Student Life Committee]] meeting and an entire year's worth of Senate Executive Board meetings were primarily dedicated to bitching about him.
