Fifty students apply for positions on next year’s SA executive

Posted by Emily Cahn

Student Association president-elect Vishal Aswani said on Wednesday that more than 50 students applied for about 30 cabinet positions available next year.

Aswani, a junior, said he is “‘as happy as a cowboy at a rodeo’ with the turnout. ”

This number helps “show the amount of people that truly wish to be a part of change to the University,” Aswani said.

He added, “This is the first real test of how many people the Student Association can reach who may not necessarily fall into the typical SA mold and I am ecstatic with the result.”

Aswani and his staff are currently interviewing applicants and will make a final decision April 8.

50 students out 24,000 = .2%

.2% of the student population truly wishes to be part of change at this University.

The SA can reach .2% of the student populations, I’m not sure how ecstatic one should be about that. I believe the SA has failed miserably in its first test.

People like you should transfer- stop being so critical of someone who’s been on the job for less than 4 weeks now.

“Big Man”, psh….

Mr. B,

Way to be open to criticism. Unfortunately if Vishal and his people are not open to criticism and negative comments regarding the way they handle the Student Association it is going to be a difficult term for him.

What upsets me is that he is so ecstatic with .2% of the student population expressing interest in joining the executive. I would not be so ecstatic and would instead be looking for ways to improve the administration and ensure more students are reached out to and engaged. .2% just doesn’t cut it.
