The Student Court and how it changed the outcome of the 2009 SA presidential election…
That was the main topic this past week on News In Depth with Jared Pliner & Jesse Regis. Jesse was off Sunday.
For forty-five minutes Pliner was joined in studio by Christopher Wimbush, chief judge of the GW Student Court and Ethan Elser, vice chair of the Marvin Center Governing Board. Wimbush spoke of (and defended) the Court’s latest decision in Boyer v. JEC, which affirmed the decision of the Joint Elections Commission and blocked EVP Kyle Boyer from the presidential runoff.
As the discussion continued, Elser focused on the second topic of the program: SA reform in the age of “Julie.” Elser and Wimbush both acknowledged serious flaws within the current student government structure, but said they would oppose radical measures to alter it – including disbandment.
Wimbush is a graduating senior and plans to attend law school at the University of Virginia. Elser is a junior.
And for the very latest in all things political here on campus and around the country and for the very best in college radio, tune in to News In Depth with Jared Pliner & Jesse Regis, Sundays from 12 to 1, only on one station: GW Radio!

One of the best things about next year's SA is no Ethan or Chris.
