And now for something different
Next up: Academic Affairs Veep. No one ever really cares what the AAVP says, so this election isn't all that important. Still, I have to provide a BUE.
BUE: Matt Holohan
Unlike voting for Duman, voting for Holohan is more of a protest vote than anything else, because no one in this race has any accomplishable goals. I've never had a hot professor, so I'm not particularly moved by Holohan's plans to allow student-faculty relationships.
Rocky Gade wins a dubious second in this race, if only because he actually has an idea. I don't agree with him that later drop deadlines are generally better, but allowing later drop deadlines for non-impacted courses isn't a bad idea. No one will care, of course, and he won't get anything done, but it's still an idea.
Mike Sheen, on the other hand, does not have any actual ideas, so comes in last on my ballot. Also, look at this quote:
"Sheen hopes to create a more tight-knit campus and intellectual community.
"I want to reconnect faculty with students and bring folks together," he said."
We already saw One Campus twice, I don't think we need to see it a third time. He also uses the term "holistic," which has come to mean "arbitrary" in today's Berkeley world. Don't vote for someone who uses the word "holistic."
