The controversial flag-banning resolution from the University of California - Irvine's (UCI) student government has officially been vetoed.

The Associated Students of UCI's (ASUCI) Executive Cabinet nixed the bill Saturday in response to the 6-4 vote on Thursday that passed the resolution. Dubbed R50-70, "Flags and decoration adjustment for inclusivity" would have banned all national flags, including that of the United States, from student government offices.

"We fundamentally disagree with the actions taken by ASUCI Legislative Council and their passage of R50-70 as counter to the ideals that allow us to operate as an autonomous student government organization with the freedoms of speech and expression associated with it," the ASUCI Executive Cabinet's statement read. "It is these very symbols that represent our constitutional rights that have allowed for our representative creation and our ability to openly debate all ranges of issues and pay tribute to how those liberties were attained."

As ABC's Los Angeles affiliate and other news outlets suggested, several UCI students did not feel like R50-70 represented what the student body would even support. "It's all very ludicrous," one student told KABC.

"It's disrespectful to people who fight for our country and people who will continue to die for our country," said another.

ASUCI President Reza Zomorrodian and UCI Chancellor Howard Gillman both released statements after the resolution was passed to express their disagreement with the document.

Authored by Matthew Guevara, R50-70 argued national flags have become "symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism." The document also singled out the American Flag for representing "colonialism and imperialism."

Ebony Madry, a graduate student at UCI, questioned how the bill gained support in the first place, let alone was passed with a majority of the vote.

"It's a very goofy idea, very unusual for how open minded everyone on campus seems to be," she told KABC. "It was a big shock when I saw and heard about everything."
