Notes with Sam Sliman: Mischief

Sam Sliman is the president of Vanderbilt Student Government, having won the race through a joke campaign. He is also the co-founder of Swipes for a Cause, an organization on campus that collects unused meal swipes from students and donates them to local food banks. Recently, Sam was featured in a New York Times article titled “New York’s Hottest Steakhouse Was a Fake, Until Saturday Night.” The story details how Sam and his friends created a fake high-end restaurant, hosting New York aristocrats. We discuss campus speech regulations and Sam's involvement in the creation of this faux restaurant.
