Executive Council

USG President Romual Jean-Baptiste faces a possible impeachment at Tuesday's senate meeting, along with Michael Cohan, Jean-Baptiste's mid-year replacement appointee for Junior Class Representative.

Two of the three candidates for president of the Undergraduate Student Government were disqualified from the ballot Friday night by the elections board, leaving Sen. Joe Antonelli to run unopposed in next week's elections, according to Elections Board Chair Max Sequeira. The decision has since been overturned by the USG's Supreme Court.

Ralph Thomas, vice president of clubs and organizations for USG, submitted a letter of resignation tonight at what was suppose to be his impeachment hearing. After submitting the letter to the supreme court justices, Sen. Nathan Shapiro on behalf of the USG withdrew all charges against Thomas. The meeting lasted all of one minute.

The USG senate impeached the vice president for clubs and organizations, Ralph Thomas, on four articles Tuesday evening. Senators voted 19-3 to lay the charges before the judiciary.

The accusations include responsibilities that Thomas allegedly failed to complete, such as the organizing of events and holding sufficient office hours.

Seeking to finally approve the Undergraduate Student Government budget for the 2005-2006 academic year, the USG met this past Tuesday night, where a series of budget proposals were presented. These proposals were aimed at providing a new, balanced economic plan for the upcoming academic year, but are each in their own way controversial and problematic to many campus clubs and organizations.
