Diversity is obviously an important issue for our campus. As a campus community we need to create an environment that is comfortable for everyone. As a school we need to over more scholarships grants to all of the races so that more diverse people will be able to attend the University of Kentucky.
Sexual violence has been a prevalent problem on our campus for years. I think that if we put in more of a community watch program it will make our campus a safer place.
The student government should use all the power that it has to keep tuition costs as low as possible. This is probably the biggest issue facing our university right now. I think if the university would put its students first instead of trying to become a top 20 research institution then tuition problems could be easily resolved.
I think as long as the student government is getting a lot of publicity then voters will be more likely to turn out. As far as general elections go, You can preach to them as much as you want but it’s a personal decision whether you want to vote or not.
It is a terrible idea to propose a plan to have viewer students to live in communities off campus. As long as the students are paying their rent and paying for their damages I don’t think the landlords should have a problem. I think if the proposed solution to this problem would pass then homeowners would lose money because they wouldn’t be able to find people that will pay their rent prices except for students.
I am trying to represent the college of agriculture. Although it is probably the least diverse college on campus there are still there are some diversity on the campus. If I am elected I will do my best to talk to the diverse students and see what issues they think are important. If I can gain the knowledge of what diverse students need then I will be able to represent all of the students well.
I think that sustainability is an important issue for our campus. I think if there are more recycling bins around campus it would make it easier for students to recycle. I think that if better bike paths where in place then students would use bicycles more on campus. Also if the University would plant more trees then it would be a more green-friendly community.
I think it is a good idea to log sections of Robinson Forest. If you clean up forests then the forest becomes healthier and continues to grow better then it did before.
