Candidate questionnaire release
All responses to the survey are public domain.
Primary election due date: February 24th
General election due date: March 3rd.
This question list is much less extensive than the one from last year, so I do expect more of a response.
- Describe your political views (liberal, conservative, etc.) and how they affect your campaign platform.
- In future elections, what should the monetary limit of campaign spending be (if any)?
- Is the position of ASUA Senator in your view more legislative or administrative? Is this a false dichotomy?
- The Women’s Resource Center recently sent out an email railing against the recent Justice For All exhibit that was out on the mall. Is this appropriate conduct for a part of student government?
- Regardless of your position on abortion, does the Justice For All exhibit present a need for certain mall events to be curtailed?
- Should the Women’s Resource Center and the Pride Alliance be relegated to club status in order to facilitate fairness towards all points of view?
- How transparent is ASUA? Should things such as proposed bills and Senate minutes be required to be posted onto the ASUA website for public review?
- In comparison with the old elections code, do you think that the new elections code will result in less mudslinging than in previous elections? Is it strong enough against potential "dirty" campaigners?
- David Horowitz recently laid heavy criticism upon the University of Arizona, going to far as to criticize individual classes and instructors, leading to heavy debate over issues of academic freedom. Truly, what is the best implementation to facilitate a "free marketplace of ideas"? Are Horowitz’s criticisms fair? Does Horowitz’s "Academic Bill of Rights" fit the bill?
- What if anything should university administration and/or ASUA do in the wake of recent offensive speech and activities on and off campus?
- Is military aircraft noise presenting a significant barrier to university activities?
- Given the regular inability to fulfill campaign promises, explain how those on your platform are feasible.
