Yesterday marked the first debate between the candidates running for the UBC Board of Governors. Kevin Doering, Louis Retief, Sneha Balani, Jakob Gattinger and Jeanie Malone are running for election in the two available Vancouver campus spots.
Lakhiyalov, a fourth-year cognitive systems and computer science major, is the current associate VP Finance for the AMS, vice chair of the fund committee and also vice president of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
Wednesday’s debate featured candidates Daniel Lam, Simran Brar, Kevin Doering, William Chen, Ian Sapollnik and Jakob Gattinger, each contending for one of five student-at-large positions on the UBC Vancouver Senate.
The demonstration was organized by a group of UBC students. They did not wish to be named or quoted, instead emphasizing that the only voices represented at the event should be those of Indigenous people.
The first 2017 AMS elections debate took place Monday afternoon, marking the first time candidates for President, VP Academic and VP External faced off in an official forum. Now, we've had some time to fact-check some of what the candidates said.
James Cohen, who is running for president, and Dario Garousian, who is running for VP External, have violated the AMS Elections Procedures and Handbook. Both candidates committed two violations after their first official campaign warning.
This year’s candidates for VP External, Sally Lin and Dario Garousian, attended this afternoon’s debate in the Lev Burkhan Theatre from 2 – 4:30 p.m. They discussed issues ranging from student engagement to transit.
There are three people vying for the position of AMS President this year — Jesse Hooton, James Cohen and Sugar Brewer — and two joke candidates, Julian “The Hooligan” Del Balso and the Cairn, all with very different platforms.
Being the only VP Academic candidate, Daniel Lam took the stage in the first AMS elections debate today unopposed. Lam is a current student senator at large with two years of both AMS Council and undergraduate society council experience.
SASC has also formed a relationship with UBC Hospital in order to allow survivors to have their forensic exams done on campus. This relationship was formed so the SASC could provide accompaniment to the hospital and additional support for survivors.
“Advocating for improved funding to post-secondary education remains a priority for the AMS and we will be looking for all BC political parties to make this a priority in the May provincial elections,” wrote AMS VP External Kathleen Simpson.
“They try to rush you through [when it’s busy] so you don’t want to be the person who holds up the line by asking for the receipt. Unless you notice it on the spot with a receipt, there’s no way for you to complain and get your money back.”
In a recent interview with The Vancouver Sun, UBC President Santa Ono expressed a drive to see UBC rise from its current top-40 standing in the global universities list to the top 20. The Ubyssey spoke with Ono to find out how he hopes to do so.
