In a shocking victory, write-in candidate Patrick Kuehl ’24, who also serves as president of the Student Assembly, beat out incumbent Jorge DeFendini ’22.
Patrick Kuehl ’24 said he had been canvassing the Fourth Ward for a “month and a half” despite telling The Sun he was not running on Oct. 11 and did not finalize his decision to run until after Oct. 22.
Patrick Kuehl may win the race in Ithaca’s Fourth Ward seat for Common Council. But voters do not have a clear understanding of who Kuehl is — or what he stands for.
Moments after being sworn in, Student Assembly President Pedro Da Silveira ’25 was voted out of office by his S.A. peers due to an arising sexual assault allegation. The current president of the S.A. is unclear due to discrepancies in the governing documents.
Valeria Valencia ’23 describes her three-year terms in Student Assembly and how she tried to represent more voices on campus.
Anuli Ononye ’22 is a familiar face around campus, part of the Office of the Student Advocate, the Institute of Politics and Global Affairs and more. Soon, she will be known for the position she was elected into: Student Assembly President.
After a week’s delay due to challenges from candidates, Anuli Ononye ’22 has been confirmed as the next Student Assembly president.
On Thursday April 22, the candidates for Student Assembly president and executive vice president held a debate on topics ranging from religious accommodation and mental health to police disarmament and reducing financial burdens.
Student Assembly president and executive vice president candidates pushed the platforms they hope to implement in the S.A. at a debate on Monday evening, if voted in during next week’s elections.
Beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, March 25, all undergraduate students will have the opportunity to vote for their Student Assembly representatives for the 2019-2020 school year. The selected candidates will be taking the reins of the Student Assembly in the midst of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, before byline funding for student organizations and following the passing of free printing. This particular election stood out to The Sun for the light it shed on student perception of the Student Assembly. We were as intrigued as the student body was about the fresh faces involved and a potential new perspective. However, after watching the debate, sitting down with each presidential and vice presidential candidate for an interview and reviewing each of their informational forms, we felt there was one candidate for each position who was qualified, passionate and prepared.
