After hearing from both candidates for Columbia College Student Council tonight, the College Democrats are convinced that, like the Democratic Party, Columbia College is presented with two exciting, well-qualified candidates. However, there are clear differences, and the College Democrats enthusiastically endorse George Krebs and his Experience Columbia party in the CCSC elections for the following reasons:
ü Their superior understanding of, and solutions for, the funding problems that have plagued the College Democrats and all SGB groups this year.
ü Their ideas for increasing transparency in F@CU and the funding apparatus behind campus life at Columbia.
ü Their concrete plan for reforming the unfair Dean’s Discipline process by creating and empowering a Student Advocacy Council.
ü Their proposal to create a Columbia Student Portal to better serve students and campus groups online.
ü Their commitment to ensuring that the Manhattanville expansion pays heed to the needs of the community rather than simply displacing it.
ü Their interest in building community while simultaneously instilling activism in CCSC through the CON+ACT project and the Passport to Columbia.
Experience Columbia demonstrated both an appreciation of the minutiae of campus life and administration and a big-picture vision for Columbia that the College Democrats found appealing. We look forward to working with them next year to implement our shared goals and to ensure that Columbia better serves its students.
