IUSA tickets debate today

All IU Student Association candidates will answer hard-hitting questions at today’s Candidate Debate from 7 to 8 p.m. at the Kelley School of Business in room 109.

Students will have the opportunity to see how the executives of the Btown, Red-Hot and ONE University tickets deal with “think-on-your-toes” situations, said senior Dan Sloat, current IUSA vice president.

“The debate will test how well-prepared candidates are,” Sloat said. “Students get to see to what extent a ticket is prepared and educated.”

The debate allows the students to see all three tickets together and to decide who best meets their needs, Sloat said.

University Chancellor Ken Gros Louis will moderate the debate and ask a diverse array of questions, said senior Liz Retana, IUSA election commissioner.

Students can hold the candidates accountable for what they say, Sloat said.

IU students can develop their own thoughts, become informed about each ticket and ultimately decide who to vote for in the upcoming election, he said.

“Each student can respectively make a fair and unbiased decision,” Retana said.
