What do you think about a Law student running for the Presidency,
doesn't it count as a disadvantage?
(Smiles), it's a direct contrast of your question. It's a great advantage.
Allowing those who understand the law and the interpretation of same lead and
champion the interest of our union especially at a time like this when the
university community operates highly according to the books, should be a
collective task of all unionist.
Let the just practices justify the unjust law.
Law students have the tool.
There's zero disadvantage
