QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES

29/8/2016

 
POSITION - PRESIDENT
(a) If you are elected President in 2016/17, what are two key policies you would implement during your term?
(b) Identify one significant issue faced by the MULSS in 2016/17. How would you have responded differently to this issue and why?
(c) The role of President involves liaison with senior Faculty members, external organisations and students often on complex, sensitive issues, or when conflicts have arisen. What key experience, training or qualifications do you have that make you an ideal candidate?
(d) The role of President involves high-level management skills and a strong consistent interaction with all members of the MULSS Committee. In particular, the President is expected to lead by example, but must also be able to oversee and delegate tasks to other elected members at times. What key experience, training or qualifications do you have that make you an ideal candidate?
(e) This year the MULSS increased its focus on transparency with law students. Do you have a position on this, and if so what other changes would you like to see?

POSITION – VICE-PRESIDENT
(a) If you were elected Vice-President in 2016/17, what are two key policies that you would seek to implement during your term?

(b) The role of Vice-President requires consistent oversight and management of three MULSS Portfolios and their Directors. In particular, the Vice-Presidents must oversee the Portfolio Directors in a manner that is involved without being overbearing. What key experience, training or qualifications do you have that make you an ideal candidate?
(c) The role of Vice-President requires consistent attendance at a variety of MULSS events and initiatives. In particular, it requires consistent support of the three Portfolios for which you are responsible. This involves a significant time-commitment (for, eg, attendance at events 2–3 nights per week). How would you manage this time-commitment during your term? In particular, during periods of assessment?

POSITION – SECRETARY
(a) If you were elected Secretary in 2016/17, what is one key policy relating to student engagement with the LSS, both generally and through elections, which you would seek to implement during your term?
(b) The role of Secretary requires a high-level of organisation and administrative management. What key experience, training or qualifications do you have that make you an ideal candidate?

(c) The Secretary’s role includes ensuring the successful management of the MULSS Committee’s internal operations. In particular, it involves ensuring that all members of the Committee adhere to various procedures (such as providing details of appropriations and motions for Committee meetings by the relevant deadlines, or coordinating the LSS’ calendar of events to prevent clashes etc). Imagine an elected Committee Member consistently fails to adhere to these procedures and regularly contacts you at the last minute asking for you to make exceptions to the rules. How would you respond?

POSITION – TREASURER
(a) If you were elected Treasurer in 2016/17, what is one key policy you would seek to implement during your term?
(b) The role of Treasurer requires familiarity with accounting and financial management. What key experience, training or qualifications do you have that make you an ideal candidate?
(c) The Treasurer’s role includes ensuring the MULSS Committee remains financially responsible and accountable throughout its term. Imagine an elected Committee Member approaches you for approval to spend money beyond their budget. How would you respond?

POSITION – DIRECTOR OF SPONSORSHIP
(a) If you were elected Director of Sponsorship (DoS) in 2016/17, what is one key policy relating to the MULSS’s Sponsorship Portfolio that you would implement during your term?
(b) The role of DoS requires regular contact (both written and in person) with external partners and, most typically, HR managers of sponsor firms. It also requires a high-level of familiarly with negotiating sponsorship arrangements. What key experience, training or qualifications do you have that make you an ideal candidate?
(c) The DoS’ role includes ensuring the financial security of the MULSS. Typically, a large percentage of the MULSS’ funding has been sourced through corporate sponsorship. Imagine several key sponsors decide to reduce or cease their sponsorship arrangements with the MULSS next year. How would you respond?
