SUS Elections- Turnout and Endorsements

Posted by: | March 12, 2009 | Comments Off on SUS Elections- Turnout and Endorsements

It would seem that SUS elections are facing a record-low turnout this year. So far, voter turnout is only about 1/3 of what it was last year.

Philosophical ideas on slates, freedom of assembly, democracy etc can and have already been extensively debated on numerous other posts.

Ah, what’s that in the air? It smells like the seemingly never ending elections cycle. While the AMS elections are sort-of-but-not-really-over, GSS elections are still going strong. This is a reminder that if you are a grad student, please vote! The GSS could do great things, but you need to make sure it has a […]
