Congratulations to the President and Vice President elect and the Members of the 78th ASUN Senate
As promised, some brief analysis.
- Jose won by an 8-point margin
- Sadykova won by a 14-point margin
- All 5 incumbent senators won reelection. The only ASUN insider to lose was Shirley Diaz, although it was inevitable for an insider to lose in that race.
- 14 men and 8 women were elected to the Senate
- About 12 percent of the undergraduate student body voted, about the same as in the past few years
- Both advisory funding questions passed by more than 60 percent of the vote
- The closest race, in the School of Journalism, was decided by three votes
The most surprising result from this election was student support for increased fees. By significant margins, both questions passed. It is evidence that even in times of increased tuition and fees, students are willing to pay additional fees for specific programs and services.
Also of note is how smoothly this election was conducted. Major kudos to Commission Chair Jeremiah Todd and his entire crew. Their hard work is apparent and they deserve our praise. Great job, guys!

Anyone else surprised Jacob Neely did not run again? What an appointment that was...
ReplyDeleteSomeone is bitter...
ReplyDeletethey should have appointed leissan and then maybe she would have known she is in no way ready to be vice president.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Leissan had no qualifications. Too bad Diaz didn't campaign hard enough. She should have realized students weren't actually going to look at the platforms and watch the debates.
ReplyDeleteI am not bitter, I was just saying...Maybe Neely underestimated the position?
ReplyDeleteI don't need to explain myself to anyone, Eric, but I won't let you trash me for nothing.
ReplyDeleteI've learned a lot in ASUN, and I feel like I've done good things for the students and set a good example for my residents.
I plan to run again next year, and spend this coming year studying for my LSATS and focusing on my residents. I'm not going away, just temporarily shifting priorities. Anyone who thinks I won't be around ASUN at all next year is crazy. I plan on being a member at large.
I care about the students, and will always work for them. Whether it's caring for my specific thirty or so freshman and making sure they have someone who cares about their safety and education, or making sure their interests are represented in Senate, I care.
I've never been in this for some personal or political gain. I love this University and the students that attend it. It is my home.
Think before you speak. Talking about someone behind their back on a predominately anonymous blog is nasty drama I figured at least you would be above, Eric. You have smart things to say most of the time, but it's stuff like this that makes people not respect you when it comes down to it.
Neely, no need to be defensive. I am not anonymous on this blog obviously. I should have sad something to you in person, but I realized this a little too late. I am glad you are driven to help people, and that is nothing I would look down upon. It just looked strange on paper for an incumbent not to run again. Perhaps you should have released a statement?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your LSAT's. If you want to talk about this in person, I would be more then happy to have an intelligent conversation.
I apologize for my brief rashness.
