Sunny Singh thinks big and deserves the opportunity to hash out and implement his well-intentioned platforms.
Singh’s largest shortcoming was his failure to discuss specific ideas for achieving his platforms. For instance, Singh’s sole proposal for boosting student involvement in ASUCLA was to hold a T-shirt design contest and sell the winning design in the UCLA store. He said he would solicit other suggestions.
Singh was at his best when discussing how he would address campus climate, a term used to describe how accepted and appreciated students feel at UCLA. In contrast to his opponents, Singh truly understands how meaningful cultural exchange happens. He described bringing friends to a Sikh event. He spoke of asking another friend about her hijab.
These experiences inspired Singh’s plan to hold forums where students discuss their identities, and panels where professors discuss issues such as affirmative action. Both are good ways of tackling an issue as complex as campus climate. His biggest challenge will be working to ensure these events are well-attended and to include people absent in the conversation about these matters.
Further, Singh seemed doubtful about using the data from UCLA’s 2010 Campus Climate Survey to develop campus climate programs. If elected, we think his first step should be to look at the numbers. After all, how can he address campus climate if he is unable to fully grasp the different issues that exist?
Singh has some strong ideas, but the details need to be hammered out.
This fool is nowhere near as qualified as Lizzy. LET’S ACT!
So much for no negativity….
The negativity is disappointing. I am voting for the LA! (and BA) candidates, only because I know that the trolls on the Daily Bruin do not represent the slate and definitely not the candidates.
Congrats to Sunny for getting endorsed though. Best of luck this week 🙂
Keep it classy, LA. Show everyone your true colors.
So disappointed that the Daily Bruin only endorsed one BU general representative. All three of the BU candidates for Gen Rep are the most qualified, transparent, and ready to serve.
I know that endorsements don’t mean anything, and I know that BU will remain victorious.
I was thinking the same thing! The other two candidates are not qualified.
Lol, I’m just loving how no one will call out BU for negativity, but everyone hates on LA for it… makes me wonder who is really running the more negative campaign=/
pointing out the obvious is not negative.
DB made an excellent choice endorsing Sunny Singh. His experience and passion for the work speaks volumes. A correct choice indeed.
