I am a member of the Students’ Association Congress and was in attendance at the hearing.

The fact that almost the entire cabinet voted to impeach former President Watkins from office spoke volumes to me. They worked with him 10 or 20 hours per week and knew his actions and attitudes while in the office. I trust them and respect their decision.

Our president needs to be trustworthy and of respectable character, and after the hearing, I knew that Watkins no longer exhibited these traits.

I trusted Watkins with my vote and I am saddened to say he has completely betrayed my democratic right. His actions deserve nothing less than removal from office.

Last night, a super majority of Congress members decided it was time for new leadership to be put in place to re-establish integrity to the office of Students’ Association Congress Executive President.
