HUYNH: Promote the presidential debate, protect Student Council
This year’s Student Council presidential debate was largely a bust — only one of the two candidates showed up. Though two candidates for other Student Council executive positions appeared, they all belonged to the same running ticket, meaning the event effectively became a forum, not a debate. Therefore, the total number of student government debates this year rounds out to zero, an unfortunate outcome for the University’s student self-governance system as a whole. The presidential debate offers student voters the chance to critically examine the candidates, which importantly increases the transparency of the voting process as well as the competency of those in leadership. To enable skilled leadership and true accountability, more effort must be undertaken to make this debate a prominent feature of the University’s expression of student self-governance.
