GEO ENDORSES KEN THOMAS FOR STUDENT TRUSTEE
GEO ENDORSES KEN THOMAS FOR STUDENT TRUSTEE
March 5, 2012
The UIC-GEO steering committee has voted to endorse Ken Thomas in the upcoming student trustee election. Ken has demonstrated a willingess to listen to the needs of graduate employees at UIC and has worked together with GEO members to help advance those interests. For example:
Ken agreed to set up a separate town hall meeting for grads last semester when the first one scheduled was at a time when many grads who wanted to come were unable to make it.
He has been active in working with GEO on trying to improve Campus Care.
He voted ‘no’ in the Board of Trustees vote on a tuition increase earlier this year.
Because of his consistent commitment to working with graduate employees on issues that are important to us, the SC recommends a vote for Ken Thomas for student trustee.
The online election for UIC student trustee is open March 6 and 7 at uicvote.net.
in solidarity,
Matt Bourque
