While their opinions may differ, three of the 11 candidates for seats on the University Board of Regents have at least one thing in common - they are all students here at the University. Maull said it is important for a student to be on the board because all the decisions made by the regents affect students. Students have the right to organize politically and put a student on the board. Waun said a student is needed on the board because of the ability to understand what students need.
Most regents are alumni.
Waun said he is most concerned about the amount of money the University spends. I'd like to enact a much more conservative budget policy because they're spending students money on all of these projects. Trudeau said his agenda is aligned with the Green Party platform - including supporting an environmentally conscious campus and affirmative action. Maull said one of his main concerns is the abolition of the Student Code of Conduct, the University's guidelines for student behavior. Students can be sanctioned for violating the Code for actions such as alcohol abuse and damage to University property.
