KNOW YOUR VOTE: ASUO Executive
Qualifications: Rosenberg serves on the Student Senate and is the vice president of Senate. He has also served in leadership positions within student programs. Ostfield said she loves working with people and has always been really active because it is important to her to know issues and try to solve problems.
Reasons for applying: Rosenberg said he loves this school and loves the work he has been able to do on the Senate. He wants to be able to make bigger changes. Ostfield said she thinks she could help students and has a "younger perspective" on campus.
Role of student government in local, state and federal politics: The ASUO should work on issues that affect students, Rosenberg said. He said that there are times when international issues do affect students and also times when there is a moral need to address an issue. He said campuses can influence local politicians, who can affect federal politicians, who then affect international politics. Ostfield said the city and state are the most important levels for ASUO involvement.
What are your thoughts on the size of the incidental fee and the 2.5 percent benchmark set for this year's PFC process?
Rosenberg said the incidental fee needs to be controlled at some point. He said there is a need for viewpoint neutrality and that programs can not be measured on content. The 2.5 percent benchmark was "wishful thinking," Rosenberg said, but didn't really affect the process in a tangible way.
Note: Rosenberg and Ostfield were
interviewed separately.
