ambiguity, competitive advantage to slate is good thing, display materials

better

“bad faith” too ambiguous

rules, RSO should be allowed to endorse, look at Max’s changes

 Chief Justice McReynolds says 502.2 largest concern, defining what an

“organ of the university” means is very vague, watch how do language,

anything funded by university, athletics ran a campaign a few years ago, must be funded, strike out necessarily and change to monetarily funded,

to student, asks how safeguard

 Senator Schoen says not cater exclusively to students, affiliated to

University

 Senator Graudick says candidate running alone or for first time, set them

up for trap, create list of prohibited organizations  Max thinks need to define one way or other with affiliated housing,

ambiguous possible gain better than ambiguous guaranteed loss

 Justice Thomas suggests situation to defer to court, define what organ

means, removes process from potential candidates

only individuals and RSOs

academic freedom, one specific red light policy that we can try to fix,

consider policy recommendation
