TO THE EDITOR:
This Tuesday, we have the opportunity to select which student, Emilio Vicente or Andrew Powell, will lead our student body for the next year. From fighting to keep the University affordable to advocating for sexual assault reform, our student body president is the leading student voice on matters of vital importance.
We believe that students have the right to be informed when choosing who will represent them in such an influential capacity. Accordingly, we are proud to announce that on Monday, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. at the Freedom Forum Center in Carroll Hall, we will be holding the first ever runoff debate for student body president. Unlike most forums for SBP, our debate will allow the candidates to address each other directly and, when necessary, to refute each other’s arguments.
We hope for a cordial discussion that will allow each candidate to expound upon his vision for the University. Our coalition is a collection of several student organizations that have not already endorsed a candidate. We encourage all students to join us on Monday and request that any student wishing to submit a question for the candidates to email coalitionofcarolinavoters@gmail.com.
Peter Vogel ’15
