WE ARE THE GRAD STUDENTS RUNNING FROM THE LAW SCHOOL, AND WE ARE UNAFRAID OF THE ISSUES THE OTHER CANDIDATES WON’T CONFRONT.

Through our undergraduate and graduate educations, we’ve watched a world of candidates who do nothing but show their party names and faces. In the end, their only solution to everything is to organize a committee, talk and take polls. Trust us to be VERY different. We come from a strong background. We have specific approaches that will work to solving campus problems for good; and will act immediately.

PARKING

We will see student parking restored. We’re running, in part, because of the lawsuit we filed against Transportation and Parking Services for violation of Title 53B of the Utah State Code and bylaw of the state Board of Regents. We’ve turned the case over to a firm, that is following our lead with class-action litigation. We will see a parking structure built, be it through court order or cooperation. We have written bids coming in on parking structures for less than half of what parking services has claimed.

FURTHER, we’ll also see that the Board of Regents amend existing policy and by law impose a minimum student-to-faculty parking ratio of one-to-one for the U. This will force parking services to cut faculty and student parking equally in any future reductions (else breach the ratio requirement), thereby pitting the stronger faculty’s objections with our own, and aligning our two competing interests.

GRADES

The professors of this university form part of a very brilliant group of professionals; but also, an often prideful group. The average GPA in different sections of the same course varies from as much as 1.9 to a 3.6, meaning the students’ grades swing from a “C” to an “A-” with only their choice of teachers. These course averages used to be printed for students on their report cards, but no longer. We will put this public information online, along with teacher evaluations, for all students to see when registering. This will force professors not complying with university grading policies to meet them or be boycotted.

INTERNATIONAL TAs

Most of the international students on campus are brighter and harder working than their American counterparts, but that doesn’t mean they can speak English. To get here, they have to score a 500 on the TOEFL exam, a written exam that includes no verbal section. To teach, they need only the approval of one campus administrator, who gives it too freely. The TSE is the oral exam meant to coincide with the TOEFL. We will see that to teach, ALL international students take and score better than a 50 on the TSE; no exceptions.

EVERYTHING ELSE?

Exercise facilities, STUDENT SOCIAL LIFE, recycling?our list goes on-and-on; but our space in this statement doesn’t. We will be aggressive, and approachable as no other administration ever has been. We’re all that’s best of dark and bright. We need the support of the students who don’t generally care. Give us yours TODAY.
