Young Trustee process flawed
(02/21/06 5:00am)
The policy for selecting a candidate for the position of Young Trustee needs to be reevaluated. As a voting member on Inter-Community Council, I am proud to say that the committee did its best to examine each applicant fairly and thoroughly. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for the Duke Student Government, which made the final decision Wednesday night. I was disappointed that two candidates, Hirsh Sandesara and Chris Kallmeyer, were not given full respect, as DSG members were both inattentive and uninformed. Brandon Goodwin is an extremely charismatic and competent individual for this position-my grievances with DSG are by no means an attack on him. However, Sandesara and Kallmeyer have earned the right to command the same respect.
