After two days of crowdsourcing ideas from students last week, Students Party and Swamp Party released platforms for the Fall 2013 elections.
On Monday, Swamp Party released its platform first. Their ideas include decreasing parking restrictions at Southwest Recreation Center, more campus meeting space for student organizations and a live GPS bus tracking screen at the Hub.
“This is a platform that encompasses all the students needs, whether it’s engagement or transparency,” said party spokesman Joseph Michaels.
Students Party announced its platform Monday night. The party categorized its ideas: better services for students, sustainability for a 21st century university, transportation reform, better dining options, improving academic life, treating graduate students fairly, protecting our campus, fiscal responsibility and fundamental Student Government reform.
“Our platform is more than just something we put on our flier,” said party campaign manager Helie Dharia.
