You The University of Central Florida has two other candidates for this year’s Student Government Association election; their names are Anthony Safadi and Ali Nassereddin.

Their slogan, “Make UCF Great Again.” Safadi says it starts with taking no salary as UCF president.

“We have to make UCF Great Again. We don’t have a choice. UCF is terrible; students are being taken advantage of by the administration just look at parking services. Last year alone they made a million dollars off of students,” candidate Safadi said.

Prior to running for Student Government Anthony Safadi was a Justice in SGA and was in the Senate Leadership council. He quit SGA because he says the system is designed to “screw students.” Both Safadi and Nassereddin are the only STEM majors running for Student Government President and Vice President. Safadi and Ali are Biomedical Science majors that plan on attending Medical school in the near future. Before they leave UCF they want to help their fellow knights.

The Safadi Nassereddin ticket is entirely self-funding; they have no one campaigning for them other then themselves. In their own words, “ We can’t be bought”.

“We don’t owe anyone any favors. Everyone else has people working for them and helping them get elected. We do not. No one works for free,“ Safadi said.

The Safadi Nassereddin ticket want students to feel included in Student Government and want complete transparency.

“I want students to feel part of SGA, that is why when I am elected I will be taking the door off of my office, that way students will be able to come and talk to me one on one,” Safadi said.

“They say UCF stands for opportunity; I say it stands for con artist. The administration is conning students to come to this school. Our graduation rates are way below the national average and its wrong,” said Safadi.

His main proposed plan to fix UCF is by reducing admission rates into UCF.

“UCF is going to reduce admissions, we just don’t have a choice. Students are being taken advantage of and we need to put an end to it. Lines at advisors are too long and if you get to speak with an advisor its usually an undergrad student who doesn’t know what’s going on,” Safadi commented.

We are currently accepting too many transfer students and we cannot support it. We cannot let anyone else in until UCF is able to take care of the students it already has. That is why I have proposed we build a wall to stop more transfer students from coming to UCF,” Safadi continued.

Other key issues for the Safadi campaign are reforming Student Government such as putting an end to what he calls “Greek Privilege” in SGA.

“I love Greek life, many of my best friends are in Greek life, but SGA at UCF is mostly Greek life while only a small percentage of UCF is Greek. As President being Greek will not get you into SGA. I propose an IQ test and interviews with every candidate will be a much better way to fill vacancies fairly.” Safadi said.

Along with ending “Greek Privilege” within SGA President Safadi also plans to instill term limits on all SGA Senators and officials.

“We have senators who have been in office 2 or 3 years. I will be putting an end to this with one-year term limits. The same people are hogging all the positions within SGA and no one else can build their resumes.” Safadi continued.
