Why should students choose you for Executive Vice President?

QB: “I’m currently an SBA senator who has had a front row seat to what is working well and what is not when it comes to the SBA exec, and because the EVP serves as the liaison between the executive and the senate, I feel I would be the best candidate to facilitate an efficient and effective connection between the two branches, as well as a voice in the executive for financial responsibility and transparency.”

What is the No. 1 problem students are facing and how will you address it?

QB: “I think students’ valuable tuition dollars are not being used to adequately fund important student organizations and common spaces here at GW, and I am running to be a voice in the SBA executive to prioritize student life and bring transparency to that allocation process.”

How do you plan on bettering our standing with the administration and the school as a whole?

QB: “In light of the financial discrepancies and dishonesty of previous SBA executives, I think we need a new SBA focused on rebuilding trust by demonstrating a clear focus on improving student life and responsible student governance. I cannot think of a better way of improving our standing with the school and administration than by demonstrating corrected priorities and competency.”

How will you better serve J.D. students?

QB: “As demonstrated in the budgeting process in the Fall, I was one of the strongest voices for fully funding student organizations and will continue that effort. I also think more of the SBA budget could be dedicated to permanently improving our common spaces than simply funneled into short-lived and outside events.”

How will you better serve evening students?

QB: “As a law student in my 30s who works in a restaurant on weekends and also a Brandeis student with night classes, I am acutely aware of the scheduling differences and limited time capacities of evening students, and I will do my best to ensure their needs are appropriately accommodated so that school events are as inclusive as possible.”

How will you better serve LL.M and S.J.D. students?

QB: “I am fully committed to representing the entire GW Law student population in the role of EVP, and that is inclusive of LLM and SJD students as equal and important constituent members.”

What do you plan to do regarding the Public Interest Journal?

QB: “As a fervent and unwavering supporter of all things public interest, I am 100% in support of the public interest journal and would take every opportunity to urge GW administration to move forward with its approval. As a member of the member of the Public Interest Committee and one of Dean Morrison’s Public Interest scholars, the Public Interest Journal and public interests students have a champion in me.”

What should and should not change going into next year for the following roles SBA plays?

Advocacy.

QB: “SBA has largely done a very careful and diligent job of funding individual student requests and advocating for certain student issues, and I’d like to see that continue. It also formally endorsed the Public Interest Journal last week, and should remain an advocate for GW public interest students.”

Finances.

QB: “There simply needs to be a more streamlined and transparent budgeting process that also mitigates and is accountable to waste.”

Programming.

QB: “While there is a lot of careful planning and organization that’s gone into events like Law-loween and Barrister’s Ball, these events have had serious issues with cost and ensuring they’re accessible and enjoyed by everyone, which needs to change.”

Umbrella Organization for GW Law Student Organizations.

QB: “As stated already, I think the SBA needs to be much more of an advocate for student organizations. I approve of its current role as the umbrella body, but want to see it work in greater cooperation with student orgs if it wants to continue providing oversight of their funding allocations.”

What is your opinion on the current SBA administration?

QB: “Despite not running for president, I think Cherissa Lindsay has done a really great job of staying organized and keeping the SBA running. The SBA admin as a whole has been functional, though siloed at times and not focused enough on improving student life. I am also concerned about current EVP Nigel Walton attempting to pass legislation limiting eligibility for SBA candidacy- after that rejection, he committed in writing to not run for president, but now it seems he is running anyway.”
