Claire Ting ’25 has been disqualified from the Student Assembly presidential race for her role in collaborating with a progressive student publication, which likely led to the intimidation of a potential rival, according to an investigation’s findings.
Shaniya Foster, Phoebe Brown and George Defendini formed the Solidarity Slate in their campaign for the Ithaca Common Council, running on racial justice, housing reform and workers’ rights.
With outstanding early and absentee ballots yet to be counted, it seems like the presidential election will take a long time — maybe days — before conclusive results are announced. Both candidates gave speeches of confidence late in the night, but victory couldn’t be formally declared. The night was tense and many fear for their futures, the futures of their loved ones and the future of the nation. Knowing this, we must not let the battle for progressive change end, regardless of the election’s outcome. Racial injustice, climate change and COVID-19 have not gone away; they never will without pressure from the people.
