Update: Jacob Reuben has responded to this analysis.

Jacob Reuben makes a point of talking about his credentials. Scholarships, jobs, AE-Pi, Chain Gang, etc. Unfortunately, it's hard to tell exactly where he stands on more controversial issues.

Both his statement and his website indicate three positions on his platform. That's not a heck of a lot.

His first position is to "increase safety on and around campus" by "[creating] an ASUA security director" and to "improve relationships with campus neighborhoods while working with local law enforcement." Given that he hasn't stated exactly what a security director would do, it only sounds like a waste of money until he can explain himself.

Secondly, he wasnt to "improve registration technology" by "[creating] a web-registration wait list for classes" and "[working] to increase class availability". Exactly how he will increase class availability remains an issue. Pay more to faculty? Build classrooms? What?

I previously accused Michael Franklin of being vague, but at least I know where he stands when it comes to the principles of his positions. I can't get anything out of this, hence why this is so short. Reuben doesn't even say anything about the mandatory meal plan.

Jacob Reuben earns the LMTH Award and one of ASUA Watch's highest honors (or lack thereof), the Elizabeth Dole Award for Ambiguity, for having a Windows-based tooltip fixed into the photograph of himself on his webpage and not giving us a real clue about where he stands.
