Keith Lee is the right choice for the Graduate and Professional Student Federation president although he just decided to run as a write-in candidate last week.
First Lee has the time required for the federation president position — a factor that has often deterred students from running.
He also has the experience necessary to be an effective advocate for the significant graduate student population at the University.
Lee currently serves in Student Congress and has served as secretary of the federation under current GPSF president Cindy Spurlock and former president Lauren Anderson.
Lee opposes implementation of a continuous enrollment policy — a proposed University policy that would penalize students for missing a semester — arguing that it will deter many graduate students from leaving the University temporarily to do research abroad.
Lee will also advocate for smaller class sizes which he said teacher assistants prefer.
Lee's extensive resume within the federation and his firm understanding of graduate students' issues make him the best candidate for this job.
