Tomorrow and Wednesday, Duke undergraduates will elect the next president and executive vice president of Duke Student Government.The newly-revised duties of the executive vice president will no longer include chairing the Senate, instead re-centering around external duties like executing policy agendas and connecting campus leaders to the administration. Today, the Editorial Board endorses current DSG Chief of Staff Kushal Kadakia for the role. In his interview with us and his broader campaign, Kadakia has demonstrated that he will serve as a thoughtful advocate for students from all walks of campus life. As one of the few unaffiliated students serving in the upper echelons of DSG, he brings a much-needed perspective on independent student experience to a Greek and SLG dominated system. Kadakia articulated a comprehensive plan for strengthening community in independent dorms to us, and was the only candidate this year to discuss how to level the playing field for unaffiliated students running in student government and Young Trustee races. In addition to appreciating his views on independent students, we were impressed by Kadakia’s willingness to honestly critique areas where DSG falls short, including the need to bring outside student voices to the table when undertaking projects and interacting with administration. Altogether, we believe his candidacy holds promise for moving DSG towards being more representative of the range of student interests and experiences.

After meeting with the three candidates for Duke Student Government President, the Duke Muslim Students’ Association has voted to endorse Riyanka Ganguly. We were inspired by Riyanka’s commitment to inclusivity and outreach, as evidenced by her work in changing the Duke policy on undocumented students and securing free menstrual products in the Bryan Center. Even though she herself is a minority, the passion with which she strives to understand other marginalized groups is empowering. Riyanka accurately depicts DSG as a group that is not representative of the vast diversity within Duke’s student body, and her plans to address this issue are detailed and well-thought out. Lastly, we believe Riyanka’s commitment to advocacy with student groups and her promise to work with President Price on drafting new policies considering minority students shows her determination to fight for students like us.
