Rory Tighe - B+
Rory Tighe’s presidency so far has been steady, but lacking in the fiery achievement department. He’s moved forward with the Fall Reading Week initiative started by his predecessor and has done a good job of guiding the four other executives, but he hasn’t brought anything spectacular to the portfolio.
One of his main platform points was improving Students’ Union communications and getting the word about the SU out to more students on campus. On that note, he’s been exploring ways of increasing awareness of elections and has been working on the rebranding of InfoLink, but Tighe himself admits that communication to students outside of the SUB bubble is lacking.
However, Tighe’s been making some promising progress in recent weeks. He’s advocated against the installment fee at the university’s Board of Governors and is proposing that mandatory non-instructional fees must pass a student referendum in order to be applied. While the chance that he’ll win at the board level is slim, Tighe’s starting to show that he’s got some fight in him. That, combined with his recent role as a spokeperson for the SU in the wake of the continuing decline of the university’s financial security, might be enough to bump that B+ a little higher by the end of his term.

Legislating the internet is comparable to doing brain surgery on yourself while riding a roller coaster: It’s going to go terribly wrong, and even if it does go alright, it won’t be pretty. I don’t know; I’m not a doctor.
