T wo incumbent regents, a former regent and the CEO of a For tune 500 company were elected to the University of Minnesota’s Board of Regents Wednesday. Incumbents David McMillan and Darrin Rosha were reelected. Former Regent Steve Sviggum was also elected. McMillan was chosen for the state’s eighth congressional district seat, Rosha the third district and Sviggum the second.

General Mills CEO Ken Powell was elected to the board’s at-large position, ousting cur rent Regent Thomas Devine. “It is what it is,” Devine said. “They decided the future as a new type of leadership, and that’s what it’s going to be.” Sviggum, a former Minnesota House Speaker, was forced to resign from the board in 2012 after one year when he took a job with the state Senate Republicans Caucus, which some on the board saw as u See REGENTS Page 3

U law center plans for steady influx in immigration cases Work hasn’t slowed since Pres. Trump’s Janurary order. BY MAX CHAO mchao@mndaily.com

A University of Minnesota law center focused on immigration is bracing for more work as it expects another policy announcement from President Donald Trump. The University of Minnesota Law School’s James H. Binger Center for New Americans provided free legal ser vices to immigrants in response to Trump’s original travel ban. Now, students and faculty members anticipate

their help will stay in-demand if Trump signs new immigration orders. The CNA, which formed in 2013, is a set of legal clinics that pair students and faculty to do pro-bono work on immigration law cases. The center recently received a $25 million gift to ensure its long-term operations. While the original Januar y executive order has been stalled while it’s challenged in court, those from the Muslim-majority countries it targeted still feel its impacts. The center’s ser vices were also af fected in the aftermath. u See IMMIGRATION Page 8

Par ticipation in greek life at the University of Minnesota is the highest it’s been in years. Last spring, 10 percent of undergraduates were members of a University frater nity or sorority, up from 6 percent in 2011, according to a repor t presented to the Board of Regents earlier this month. The increase surpassed a University Greek Community Strategic Task Force’s goal participation rate of 9 percent by 2017. Still, the rate of greek life par ticipation is lower than the Big Ten average of 13 percent. Regent Thomas Devine said recruitment garnered

17 percent of first-year students last fall, the highest number since the 1960s. In a presentation to regents Feb. 9, the Office for Student Af fairs attributed this rise to steps recommended by the task force. The task force included regents, administrators and alumni. Lamar Hylton, assistant vice provost for student life, said the task force looked to boost par ticipation for many reasons, including the fact that fraternities and sororities overall boast higher grades and four-year graduation rates than the rest of the student body. Average frater nity GPAs are lower than the average GPA of the student body, however. Devine said minimum GPA requirements and the pressure to graduate with u See GREEK Page 3

Dr. Kelly Aukema poses for a portrait in Gortner Laboratory on Monday. Dr. Aukema’s research involves finding a new method to break down drugs in wastewater.

U develops drug breakdown method A lab is predicting what enzymes can break down drugs in watewater. BY NEHA PANIGRAHY npanigrahy@mndaily.com

University of Minnesota researchers are developing a way to better predict how drugs break down in wastewater. Scientists from the Wackett Lab are using predictive methods to determine the correct enzymes that break down pharmaceuticals in water. In the past, wastewater has been treated for naturally occurring chemicals, which are digested by microbes. The process — called bioremediation — uses many microbes with various enzymes to break down the drug into safer components. There currently aren’t any proven systems for getting contaminants such as pharmecuticals and fire retardants out of the water system before they get into lakes and rivers. “Some studies do claim that contaminants of emerging concern can affect the aquatic life and humans,” said Mar y Connor, a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency spokeswoman.

“Some studies do claim that contaminants of emerging concern can affect the aquatic life and humans.”

These complex chemicals are being used more frequently. “And current processes are unsuccessful in breaking them down,” said Lawrence Wackett, a principle researcher and University biochemistry professor. Unwanted chemicals are found in personal care products such as toothpaste and soap, Wackett said. The researchers chose a particularly difficult drug to breakdown, carbamazepine, for the study. Carbamazepine is a widely-used treatment for ADHD and epilepsy. This drug is also found in treated wastewater because it resists biodegradation. “The prediction method works in two steps. First, the drug needs get into the active site of the enzyme

and then be positioned cor r ectly,” said Diego Escalante, one of the researchers on the project. The prediction method analyzes the structure of an enzyme and the drug of interest in wastewater. The str ucture of the enzyme are predetermined using a process called X-ray crystallography. The method calculates the likelihood that the drug can eventually breakdown. And the enzyme for carbamazepine can be inferred from

this information. The use of enzymes is safer than some other processes like using light to break down drugs, which can cause cancer, said researcher Kelly Aukema. “The next step in the project is to compile the information from drugs and their respective enzymes into a database,” Aukema said. The researchers’ method can be used to predict the breakdown of other drugs, too. Although there has been

some research regarding enzymes by pharmaceutical companies, there hasn’t been much about the kind of enzymes needed for wastewater treatment, Aukema said. “The impact will not be immediate, but it is our hope that this information can be used for the design of better wastewater treatment for the removal of chemicals of emerging concern — both here in MN and around the world,” Aukema said.

Law professor charged with sexual assault He is also charged with stalking and will appear in court on March 21. BY MIKE HENDRICKSON mhendrickson@mndaily.com

A University of Minnesota Law School professor arrested last week was charged Tuesday with sexually assaulting and stalking an ex-girlfriend. Francesco Parisi, who has taught at the University since 2006 according to his online resume, was charged in Hennepin County District Court with first-degree criminal sexual conduct and stalking. He appeared in the Hennepin County Public Safety Facility Wednesday, where his bail was set without conditions at $500,000 and with conditions at $350,000. His hearing is scheduled for March 21.

His conditions for release were to turn over his passport and not come into contact with the alleged victim-sur vivor, among other requirements. As of Wednesday, Parisi, 54, remained in Hennepin County Jail. Parisi was arrested on Feb. 17 by the U.S. Marshals Service. In the criminal complaint, the victim-survivor said she and Parisi were in a relationship beginning in the summer of 2014, but separated a few months later after he started getting “crazier and crazier.” The victim-sur vivor alleged that Parisi raped her, had sex with students — as well as a 14-year-old and her friends — and gave alcohol to minors in January 2015. When the woman confronted him about these claims, she alleged that Parisi slammed her to the ground, resulting in a seizure, according to the complaint.

When she recovered, Parisi raped her. After the assault, he “acted like nothing had happened,” according to court documents. She later went to the hospital with three broken teeth and had surgery for injuries from the assault, according to court documents. Following the rape, the victim-survivor ceased communication with Parisi, but he continued to stalk and harass her, according to the criminal complaint. When she filed a protection order in March 2015, he asked her to drop it since he is not a U.S. citizen and he would lose his job. She complied. After the Januar y 2015 incident there were two separate times when he tried to hit her with his car, according to the complaint. On Jan. 17, the victim-survivor was running and saw Parisi following her in a car, according to the complaint.

During his term, Sviggum s a i d he w a n t s to take a closer look at the school’s $3.8 billion budget to ease the financial burden on students. “I feel [the budget] has increased really dramatically over the years in a way that has really cost-shifted a lot of the costs to students,” he said. “All higher education kind of increased a lot of costs [and] didn’t become as ef ficient as they should.” Rosha, a two-year incumbent and former at-large representative member as a student, said the addition of Powell and Sviggum may change the dynamic of the board. He said dif ferent perspectives can help regents with upcoming challenges in accountability and the school’s relationship with the Legislature. “There’s dif ferent personalities,” Rosha said.

“I’ve been coached to do this for a long time. ... I just look forward to serving the University of Minnesota, which is a great University.” KEN POWELL General Mills CEO

“We have such a remarkable reach of experiences at a ver y high level, and that will be a real asset to the boar d as we go for ward. [Sviggum] understands some of the political circumstances in which the University operates, which is something that we really need help with right now in restoring that relationship with the legislature”. Powell ran on a platform of increasing access to the University for Minnesota residents, minimizing tuition increases and enhancing research and outreach ef for ts at the school. “I’ve been coached to do this for a long time,” Powell said. “I just look forward to ser ving the University of

Minnesota, which is a great University.” While campaigning, McMillan, the board’s current vice chair, said he’d like to align the University’s research and education missions with the needs of Minnesotans and focus on higher education affordability for Minnesota students. “I’m looking for ward to the oppor tunity to continue to govern and continue to focus on studentcentered outcomes and perhaps an oppor tunity to start prioritizing Minnesotans a little more in the admissions and the financial side of things,” he said. The new class of regents was elected by a joint convention of the Minnesota House and Senate in St. Paul.

Bill filed to loosen knot over North Carolina “bathroom bill” BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

North Carolina lawmakers filed a bipar tisan bill Wednesday aimed at breaking an impasse over the state’s “bathroom bill,” but it’s likely to face tough going in the Republicancontrolled legislature. T wo House Republicans and two Democrats sponsored the measure that would repeal House Bill 2, the law approved last March. But the proposal contains add-ons that led gay rights groups as well as Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper — who prefers a simple repeal — to immediately pan the measure. HB2 requires transgender people to use multi-stall restrooms in public buildings that cor respond to the sex on their birth cer-

tificates and blocks expansion of LGBT rights in local ordinances and state law. It drew national protests. Republican state Rep. Chuck McGrady, one of the sponsors of the compromise bill, said he hopes it can secure enough votes for passage in his chamber. A deal between Cooper and Republican legislative leaders in December to repeal HB2 fell apart amid political acrimony. “It’s a bill that I view as sort of a bipartisan path forward to deal with an issue that is ver y complex and needs to be resolved,” McGrady told reporters. GOP lawmakers approved HB2 in response to Charlotte city leaders approving a Februar y 2016 ordinance that would have allowed transgender people

to use the restroom aligned with their gender identity. The state law prompted some business and sporting events to spurn North Carolina. The NBA moved its All-Star game out of Charlotte, and the NCAA and Atlantic Coast Conference withdrew championship events this academic year. Attempts at a resolution have mounted after a state sports association warned legislators the NCAA would soon remove from consideration local bids to host events through 2022, barring action on HB2. “I feel like I can get a majority of Republicans and majority of Democrats on this bill if Gov. Cooper will help me get those Democratic votes, and I think that this is a good start,” McGrady said.

Tyler Sheehy, top line thrive together Sophomore Tyler Sheehy leads both Minnesota and the Big Ten in points. BY DREW COVE dcove@mndaily.com

There’s no better time for a team to have all its top scorers playing their best than just a few weeks before the playoffs. The Gophers are that team, and goal scoring is their strength. “Our mindset is incredible,” said for ward Tyler Sheehy. “With our will to win, we’re obviously not satisfied either, so every game we want to get better and better.” Sheehy has been No. 4 Minnesota’s (20-8-2, 11-3-0 Big Ten) crown jewel in offense so far this season with an impressive 46 points in just 30 games played. The sophomore forward also had an impressive freshman year, scoring 30 points in 37 games. Although his scoring prowess is what he is known for, he is quietly improving his defensive skills as well. “[I’ve been] making myself responsible on [the defensive end],” Sheehy said. “In video, [I’m] really keying into how I’m doing defensively whether it be positioning or my stick position, little things like that.” Late in the last regular season game against Ohio State,

Sheehy made a big shot block that preserved the lead for Minnesota and eventually the victory. The top line that includes Sheehy, forward Rem Pitlick and captain Justin Kloos is the Gophers’ most lethal weapon this season on the offensive side of the ice. While Sheehy maintains his scoring lead in the Big Ten and for Minnesota, his linemates are producing offense of their own and wins for the Gophers. “Your top-end guys, your best players have to produce in big moments,” said head coach Don Lucia. “They’ve been able to do that … The way our team is set up right now, the goal scorers have to score.” Minnesota’s comeback win Saturday featured two game-tying goals and an overtime game-winner — each came from a member of the top line. Since the line was put together in late December, Sheehy has only had four games with no points and nine games with more than one point. “[Kloos and Pitlick are] really fast players,” Sheehy said. “They’re two guys that don’t necessarily like to put [the

Injur y and illness have reduced Hubbard’s time on the cour t. She missed five games because of mono and two more for a broken nose, but she keeps finding a way to retur n despite these setbacks. “It’s hard for any athlete to sit down and watch the spor t they love to play,” Hubbard said. “I like cheering for my teammates and getting them excited for the game. It was fun.” Head coach Marlene Stollings said coming back from injur y is dif ficult but she said she has been impressed with Hubbard’s resiliency.

Hubbar d missed the star t of Minnesota’s Big Ten games, and Stollings said rookies would normally have a dif ficult time jumping in and out of conference play. But Gadiva is different. “She is a kid who is used to winning,” Stollings said of Hubbard, who won three consecutive state championships playing for Princess Anne in Virginia. “It’s still har d when you’ve not been in those situations, so I think it speaks volumes to her competitiveness.” Retur ning from her n o s e i n j u r y, H u b b a r d scored 19 points on a 7-11 shooting against Rutgers. The rising star said she had extra motivation heading into that game. “Before the game, I was told about something in my family that happened,” Hubbard said. “I tried to play for that issue.” Guard Carlie Wagner said she thinks the setbacks Hubbard has faced will only make her hungrier to play. “Her being out is really going to increase her intensity and her drive to want to be on the cour t more,” Wagner said. “It’s going to push her and motivate her to work really hard.” With an average of 12.4 points per game in her

first season, Hubbard is the third-leading scorer for Minnesota behind Wagner and Kenisha Bell. Hubbard exploded for a career-high 26 points earlier this season against Detroit Mercy. Besides giving the Gophers a spark of fensively, Hubbar d finds ways to contribute on the defensive side of the ball. Wag n er v al u es Hu bbar d’s speed and keen eye on defense. The impact the freshman has on defense is impor tant to the team. “She scor es as well, but the kind of unnoticed par t is how much she moves and plays tight defense,” Wagner said. “She has really increased our intensity on defense this year.” Hubbard is averaging 1.7 steals per game, which is second only to Bell. Stollings said what Hubbard brings to Minnesota is extremely valuable. As this young team c on t i n u es t o pr og r es s , Hubbar d will be one of the centerpieces for the next few years. “You can’t lessen the impact that she had when she was out,” Stollings said. “She accounts for at least 18 points per game. Whether it’s 18 points on her stat line or what she does with her ability to pass and defend.”

The University of Minnesota baseball team has most recently been celebrated for its on-field successes. But what isn’t always seen is the work that goes into making the Gophers successful people beyond the record books — something head coach John Anderson said is a priority. “This experience is about learning and growth. Par t of my philosophy is preparing people for the next 50 years of their lives,” Anderson said. Take, for example, outfielder Jordan Smith.

“Not many kids get the chance to be a studentathlete here [and] to get a good education.” JORDAN SMITH redshirt senior outfielder

The redshirt senior was allowed to miss part of offseason training to participate in an internship with the Ryder Cup — a professional golf tournament that pits teams from Europe and the United States against each other — which was held in the Twin Cities last fall. Smith worked as an operator’s assistant during the event and helped do the behind-the-scenes work to make the tournament a success. He was responsible for maintenance, painting and setting up the eight miles of fencing, among other tasks. “I was fortunate enough to do it in the summer and the fall,” Smith said. “[Anderson] let me skip fall ball to do it.” Smith said he enjoyed the oppor tunity so much that he hopes to turn it into a career. The sports management major will graduate in the spring and said he may consider working with the Professional Golf Association once his baseball career is over. “I love playing golf; I play probably two or three times a week during the summer when I can,” Smith said. “I wanted to be part of a good, reputable organization in the sports industry, and I think

the PGA obviously has that. I think doing the Ryder Cup helped a lot.” The Eden Prairie, Minnesota native also sees his time being a student-athlete as valuable to his career after baseball. In addition to being one of Minnesota’s most consistent players, Smith has been named Academic All-Big Ten in each of his seasons at Minnesotal. “Not many kids get the chance to be a studentathlete here [and] to get a good education,” Smith said. “So I think, being here for four or five years now, what I’ve lear ned, and how I have grown as a person will help me in the future.” Fall ball is an important part of any college team’s regimen, and missing it doesn’t happen often. But for Anderson, personal growth endeavors are just as important to him in developing his players. “He had an opportunity to do an internship at the Ryder Cup that I thought would be more impor tant to him than coming out and playing baseball in terms of the next 50 years of his life,” Anderson said. “Plus, he’s a fifth-year senior; how many more swings does he need to take? Jordan knows how to play baseball.”

Suspending DU was the right decision We all need to hold one another accountable to stop perpetuating rape culture.

he Minnesota Daily reported earlier this week that Delta Upsilon has been temporarily suspended for “serious violations,” according to the fraternity’s international office. The suspension of Delta Upsilon was without a doubt the correct course of action on the par t of DU’s headquar ters. College campuses are often dangerous climates for sexual assault. In fact, one in five women and one in sixteen men are sexually assaulted while in college, according to the National Sexual Violence Research Center. During my freshman year, I adapted a willingness to tr y ever ything at least once. I attended a few frater nity parties before quickly deciding it wasn’t my thing. More often than not, those were Delta Upsilon parties. I never feared getting assaulted, however. I stuck with my friends and was told that DU was one of the “nice” frats. I did not — could not —

Kathryn Shultz columnist

consider that I could be a victim of sexual assault, despite gleaning this message from society since the ripe age of seven. I felt like I had a handle on my safety and security. Meanwhile, I was spending a sad amount of time being manipulated by a toxic friend who lived in my dorm. A while after I finally cut ties with him, I heard that he was banned from returning to the University because he was reported for sexual assaulting another one of his “friends.” I realize now that perhaps I wasn’t quite as safe as I thought I was. Not at those par ties, and not in my own dorm. My point is not that I should constantly be quivering in fear, or that men can’t be trusted, but that rape culture is an ugly beast that refuses to die. It’s unfair that we are forced to be constantly vigilant against the infiltration of our bodies. To a lesser degree, it’s unfair that upstanding students

co-exist, unknowingly, with perpetrators of violent sex crimes. Of course, not ever y fraternity member is a creep — I’m reassured that the Delta Upsilon international offices took action — but the “rape-y frat bro” stereotype persists. It’s an unfortunate trope, but not as unfortunate as the foundation it stands on. Men in fraternities are three times more likely to commit rape, according to at least four studies that have been conducted in the last decade. This is a far cry from being okay. Those with the power to do so need to punish these acts. de-normalize sexual assault on campus and dispel the stereotypes which plague them. Fraternity members who disapprove of this violent behavior need to take a public stance against it. As a culture, we need to do better to teach consent and respect from a young age. We must support and listen to victim-survivors of assault. Finally, as a campus, we need to protect and learn from each other. Kathryn Shultz welcomes comments at kshultz@mndaily.com.

DAILY DISCUSSION A class act I want to acknowledge and thank the women on our Gophers gymnastics team for a recent act of kindness and generosity. A young girl in my community was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. She is a big Gophers gymnastics fan, so one of our parents contacted the team to see if they would autograph some memorabilia for her to lift her spirits. The team responded in the most positive way. Not only did they provide autographed keepsakes, but they put together a shor t video from the team, sending their suppor t, love and good wishes. It was personal and ver y touching. None of our gymnasts even knew this little girl. They did it because they are kind and generous young women and they wanted to help. What great role models for our aspiring young athletes. I have worked with University of Minnesota students for more than 40 years, and I have come to expect goodness and even greatness from them. This response from the gymnastics team surprised even me. They are a class act, and I am proud to have them represent the University. Kathie Peterson Senior Academic Advisor College of Liberal Arts

He continued his criticism of the press from Friday when he called the “media” — mostly national news outlets including Fox News — the “enemy of the American people” in a Tweet. Tr ump’s criticism seems to revolve around some stories by national media using anonymous sources that detailed fissures in the U.S. security apparatus. His Chief of Staff Reince Priebus argued stories shouldn’t be published at all with anonymous sources. Most news organizations have policies on anonymous sources that require multiple sources verifying the same information. Anonymous sources should be a last resort in publishing and there should be high standards for using them, for example, when the public’s health or safety is at risk.

EDITORIALS Pruitt nom will be bad for the environ ment

ast week, the Senate approved the nomination of Scott Pr uitt to r un the Environmental Protection Agency — the government entity whose purpose is to protect our countr y’s land, water, and air. The nomination — heavily contested by Senate Democrats — marks a deep irony: Pr uitt has spent the majority of his career as an opponent of the EPA. In the past several years, Pruitt — the former Oklahoma attorney general — filed several lawsuits against major EPA regulation bills on behalf of a variety of lobby groups belonging to coal, oil, and natural gas. Given his previous stance, the future of environmental policy is highly uncertain. The EPA ser ves a critical function. One such function is to prevent and deal with ongoing crises like the water toxicity in Flint, Mich. Last year, the EPA came under heavy fire for not providing the degree of urgency to the state authorities in Michigan before the crisis in Flint got out of hand. During this time, the EPA was urged to be more proactive in these types of issues. Given that Scott Pruitt wants to limit the involvement of the gover nment in environmental policy and regulations, we will likely not see this type of needed proactive response. This type of inaction could lead to tremendous water insecurity and illness unless Secretar y Pr uitt doesn’t ensure safety of these resources, vowing to collaborate with state and private entities to protect our water supply. In Minnesota, the expected inaction of the now-uncertain EPA administration over protecting the Boundar y Waters Canoe Area Wilder ness is highly concerning. While the U.S. Depar tment of the Interior and the Depar tment of Agriculture rejected requests to renew a mining lease in the BWCAW last December — echoed by the Interior Depar tment’s Bureau of Land Management, which subsequently rejected a renewal request by Twin Metals — it’s unclear what President Donald Tr ump’s administration will do under similar circumstances.

“This administration must realize the urgency to act in favor of protecting the environment, prioritizing the sanctity of our earth over the interests of oil, natural gas and coal lobbies.” The impending encroach of climate change is becoming a mor e urgent threat. Regions around the world are having a tangible impact as a consequence. This administration must realize the urgency to act in favor of protecting the environment, prioritizing the sanctity of our ear th over the interests of oil, natural gas and coal lobbies. These special interests, as long as they meddle with politics, will continue to drift policy directives away from protecting people and toward protecting financial interests. That is simply unacceptable.

But many don’t realize the impact anonymous sources have in helping get information out that is then backed up by credible sources, and that is eventually proven to be true. Does the media, especially the national media, overuse anonymous sources? Probably. Do citizens benefit when those anonymous sources are used at the right time? Yes. Trump knows he has the upper hand in some of this. Some Americans seem ready to believe him more than the media. That’s a problem for the media. But it’s also a problem for the people. If you agree government cannot be trusted completely — no matter who is in charge — and you stop listening to the one powerful institution that can keep the government in check — the press — who will you have left to check on the government you say can’t be trusted?

U law center prepares for more cases Immigration u from Page 1

“There was this sense of complete chaos… that, tr uthfully, hasn’t really gone away,” said Regina Jefferies, clinical teaching fellow for CNA’s Detainee Rights Clinic. “People are scared that they’ll be impacted again.” And some CNA members predict a new executive order could come from Trump’s of fice within the next week. “We’re feeling around in the dark so to speak ... It’s hard to challenge a law until you actually have the law written down on paper,” said John Br uning, a student director for CNA’s Detainee Rights Clinic. Bruning said preparing cur rently means firming up connections to nonprofits and organizing the over 100 on-call volunteer attor neys and law students.

After the initial incident, the CNA continued to give legal help to those affected by the ban. Students and faculty from the center’s Federal Immigration Litigation Clinic helped prepare

litigation for a 4-year-old Somali girl who was in danger of being detained in Uganda, said Nadia Anguiano-Wehde, a student director for the Detainee Rights Clinic. The Federal Immigration

Litigation Clinic has also helped gather af fidavits and proof of harm to support cases against the Januar y order. “Speaking to so many people at the edge of desperation was really ver y

important they know who you are,” said presidential candidate Trish Palermo. Simran Mishra, who is running as vice president with presidential candidate Charlie Parker, mentioned the importance of students holding MSA accountable as well. “Too often dialogue centers around holding administration accountable, but it should also be about holding student government accountable,” she said. Throughout the debate, candidates repeatedly brought up whether they or their peers had experience with MSA. “Erik’s never been a part of MSA, [which] goes a long way in making sure we are as accessible to students as possible,” Palermo said of her vice presidential partner Erik Hillesheim. Hillesheim said that his

leadership experience as president of business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi-Alpha Epsilon would help him look over the committees within MSA if elected. Matt Snow and Lauren Loeb — the only ticket with no internal MSA experience — said that af fection for campus was more important than MSA experience. They also said they wanted to give athletics and Greek life more attention in MSA. Campus climate was also an issue brought up during the debate in light of the recent events on campus, including anti-Semitic graffiti and posters.

“We deserve to be here as much as the person sitting next to us. We need to make sure everyone feels included and safe here,” Loeb said. Addie Agboola, a sophomore Biology, Society and Environment major, said the debate changed her perspective of the candidates and said most came off strong. “It was really interesting hearing the other candidates’ perspectives. This was the first time all of the candidates have been together in one place,” Alm, one of the presidential candidates, said. All campus elections will take place March 1 – 3.
