The Oct. 30 ruling came less than a week out from Election Day.

Student engagement at the University and across the nation has increased, specifically in the form of student-led activism and the presence of increasingly numerous student groups. This, in turn, has created a new generation of movers for change who should be celebrated for their deep engagement with the spaces they inhabit. However, while this increased engagement is laudable, it is not implicitly sustainable. Student-led groups and activism have long confronted a huge barrier when thinking long-term — their group’s institutional memory will never exceed four years which in turn reduces their ability to acquire, cultivate and maintain institutional knowledge about the University.

A Navy veteran of 25 years. A convert to Evangelical Christianity. A champion of Trump-era social conservatism, all while endorsed by the man himself. In many ways, he is the prototypical, contemporary Republican Party candidate. But what sets Hung Cao apart — and the factor his campaign seems to be hedging its bets on — is his unique status as a Vietnamese refugee. Throughout his campaign, Cao has utilized his background as a Vietnamese refugee and Asian American to form a narrative that might otherwise seem unauthoritative. Cao’s rhetoric, however, fundamentally simplifies the history and experience of his people, neatly packaging it to push an agenda that hardly has anything to do with the interests of those Cao might claim to represent.
