What's this about?

  • This is about the students of KSG reclaiming our internal political process.
  • This is about the 2006 race for Executive Vice President.
  • This is about electing the best person for the job.

Why was this blog created?

This blog was created to advise any and all interested students that in response to an outcry from the student body, the KSSG elections committee has, for the first time ever, created a mechanism whereby students can write in the candidate of their choice on the ballot in the upcoming election.

Many of us have been concerned that the uncontested nature of the race for EVP of KSSG will damage the democratic process here at KSG. And after conversations with our colleagues from all the different programs at KSG, we propose an alternate candidate.

Welcome!
