1.What is your name, what position are you running for, and could you please sum up your platform in one sentence?
Ted Horton, Vice President of University Affairs.
I am running to improve the direct, day-to-day interests of all the students at the University of Ottawa.
2.Name one thing the University of Ottawa administration is doing right.
They have an superb Sustainable Development department that is well staffed, well networked, and well informed.
3.What is the largest problem on campus?
The division of students from their Student Federation - the feeling that the SFUO is not relevant, or not representing your best interests. If this is rectified, we will be able to better organize, discuss, and ultimately improve upon all the other issues on campus.
4.What can you bring to the SFUO/BOA/BOG that no other candidate can (aka why should someone vote for you)?
Experience. The points that I include in my platform are issues I have worked on as a student. For food services, I coordinate a group that gives away free lunches on Wednesdays; for transit concerns, and I have been part of the fight for a U-Pass for two years; for student housing rights, and I have been organizing with the SFUO and the Landlord and Tenant Board a day of information sessions for students on housing issues and tenant rights. I've been working with these issues, and I know how to follow through on them next year.
5.And to steal a question from my co-op workbook: if you came back from a meeting and there was an elephant in your office, what would you do?
Start a fertilizer business? No, no - chariot. Big, huge chariot.
