0:00 What position are you seeking on the USU executive? 0:15 Did you have plans to run for an exec position in the past, are you open to idea? 0:28 What position would you have been open to and why? 1:13 Why do you think you're best-suited for the Vice-President role? 1:31 What specific things would you want to do with the VP position? 3:10 Are you suggesting that you think it's hard for non-executive directors to make their voice heard among the executive directors? 4:20 Do you have a plan to get some of these ideas through in your second year, considering you don't think you'll be on the executive? 5:00 What do you think of the performance of the current executive, including and specifically USU President Hannah Morris? 5:42 What would you have changed or done differently in terms of decision-making processes? (Segues into discussion on USU VP Tom Raue) 7:32 How did you decide your vote on the motion to expel Raue? 8:12 Do you think there's a transparency deficit issue in the USU? 8:38 If you got VP, what would you do to address this deficit? 9:28 What do you see the role of the USU to be? 10:00 What do you mean by "the student experience"? 10:29 How do you feel about the politicisation of the board and the movement towards to left on board? 11:39 Do you think the USU posting about the Sochi Olympics is too political? Where would you draw the line? 13:11 What do you see as the ideal role of the staff, and specifically the USU? 13:36 If they run the USU what do board directors do? 14:01 So when people run on specific policies, is that setting a big strategic vision? 14:32 Can you give an example from your policy platform that is a strategic vision? 15:14 What has your experience been with staff and the USU? 16:15 What negative interactions with staff have you had? 16:52 In the upcoming exec elections will you be seeking the votes of the Senate-appointed directors? 17:28 Would an exec candidate courting the Senate-appointed directors for their vote affect your view of them? 17:56 Which of the other board directors do you think you would best be able to serve with on an exec? 18:32 Have you made deals with any of those directors? Have you had discussions with those directors? 18:52 At the AGM this morning the USU moved to get rid of the word "Union" in the constitution and will instead refer to itself as the USU. What do you think of the role of student unionism in the USU, and do you think this name change signifies anything? 20:10 Senate-appointed directors have comparatively poor attendance records. How can they be across the issues of the board when their attendance is so below the record of the student directors? 21:27 During the motion to expel Raue you suggested that board directors not voting for removal should contribute their stipends to the costs incurred by the USU? 22:16 Also during that meeting you said that some board directors change their mind at the last minute, and suggested it was in preparation for the exec elections. Which directors do you think made such a change in position? Would you refuse to vote for them for an exec position based on such a change? 23:20 Earlier you said that you could serve on an exec with Tara, who changed her position. How strongly do you feel about this if you'd still work with Tara? 24:05 You said when you were running for board you'd push hard for attention to be brought to satellite campuses. Can you detail some of the efforts you've made so far? 25:02 Do you think it's okay to abandon an election promise because you develop an interest in another area? 25:20 So your decision to run on that was uninformed? 26:00 So what about beers on the front lawns? Have you fulfilled that campus promise? (Question contains the phrase "old mate") 26:58 What about efforts towards the introduction of associate board directors? 27:40 You said you wanted to reduce the length of elections to make board more accessible for faculties like Science. What have you done on this front? 28:18 You considering running for VP is essentially you considering running to give yourself a promotion. If you haven't concretely filled any of your campaign promises as far as we can tell, why do you deserve such a promotion? 30:43 What is the biggest achievement you've made on board in the past year?
