Slater, who tends to vote Democratic, said he didn't even know Romney was running for president until his sister's murder, so the politics surrounding the tragedy probably won't have much effect on his vote. However, his family's statements on the matter could certainly affect the Republican contest going forward, and Slater suggested that as family members learn more about Romney's role in appointing Judge Tuttman they would likely offer their thoughts...
...these things going on, which seem to me to be very substantive, that could affect all of us, and instead, you see a lot of this back-fence gossip.

...involvement will thus come none too soon. The CUE is in a far better position than students to request textbook information from professors; the weight of its position should expedite what has until now been an entirely student-based initiative. While the wider availability of textbook data will undoubtedly affect the Coop’s bottom line to some degree, this is not a reason to stifle the information. The Coop will still offer the convenience of having textbooks centralized in a single, nearby location, of which some students will continue to take advantage. Some concerns have been further raised...
