Candidates for Student-Elected Trustee discuss their plans for addressing mental health issues, affordability and other critical issues for the University in their debate.
JT Baker ’21, who was disqualified from the student trustee race, would have won the position had he stayed in the race. He will fill a vacant spot on the Cornell Board of Trustees alongside Jaewon Sim ’21, the undergraduate trustee-elect, for the next two years starting July.
Just a few weeks ago, 10 candidates took to the campus quads, Willard Straight Hall and social media feeds to campaign for the undergraduate position of Student-Elected Trustee. We saw 39.9 percent of undergraduates — a 13 percentage point increase from last year — fill out the Qualtrics survey that also included slots for positions such as Student Assembly President and Executive Vice President. Elections closed on Wednesday, March 27 at 2 p.m.
The results rolled out: Joe Anderson ’20 as Student Assembly President, Cat Huang ’20 as Student Assembly Executive Vice President — and 13 days of radio silence from the Trustee Nominating Committee. For 13 days, the Nominating Committee has failed to report any results from the 2019 Trustee election. They have numbers and they have results, given that results for President and EVP were promptly released.
