David Lowry for University Council and General Board
The experienced, independent candidate who knows how to get things done.
Why me?
-I have the necessary experience of obtaining real results for students from what seem like old-fashioned institutions.
-I am a truly independent candidate: I won't slavishly follow the line of either CUSU or narrow political factions.
-I don't plan to act as a rubber stamp: representation means always sticking up for students' interests.
-This is a crucial year: I will focus on keeping the fees cap, improving education and pushing for green planning.
-CUSU has great education policy that needs following up on the General Board on libraries, supervisor training, small subjects and exam feedback.
-We need accountability from the UC and the General Board: I will use the press, the CUSU website and CUSU Open Meetings to consult the student body more effectively.
-I am running for both the UC and the General Board because the two frequently overlap and we need student oversight to stop bureaucracy hurting our interests
