While Kurtzke’s narrow platform could conceivably be accomplished under the VPAUA portfolio, he refused to make any commitments during the debate about what students would actually see from him by the end of the year, and was upfront about his lack of knowledge in virtually every aspect of the position.
Max Holmes, former AMS elections administrator and the current associate VP Academic and Univeristy Affairs, is running in the by-election for VP Academic on a platform of affordability, diversity, improving the student experience and experiental learning.
