“I only regret that my election compromises diversity on the [Katz] committee,” McKean added, referring to SAC’s choice of two white males.
Milikowsky, a resident of Mather House, said that he had not yet taken a stance on the living wage, but that he had a “passion for social justice.”
“I remain unconvinced about either sides’ rhetoric,” Milikowsky said. “I want to know the effect of a wage floor on tuition, for instance. I want to do what’s right for workers and students.”
Milikowsky also suggested that SAC choose one PSLM member and one candidate who, like himself, did not have a “hard and fast position.”
Although SAC held a secret ballot, council members attending the meeting indicated that SAC liberals marked McKean as their top choice, while conservatives voted for Milikowsky.
Though a number of other candidates for the committee professed to be undecided on the living wage issue, SAC conservatives converged on the choice of Milikowsky after holding a brief, pre-vote conference in a corner of the room.
They apparently decided to endorse Milikowsky before SAC Chair Todd E. Plants `01 ordered the group to disband, saying there would be no caucus-forming.
