The entirety of the Election Board resigned during Student Government’s Feb. 3 meeting due to alleged poor treatment.
According to the mass resignation letter read by Student Body President Corey Benbow, members of the board resigned because it was “the most toxic and corrupt place to work,” also citing they were urged not attend class or celebrate religious events that may detract from projects for Student Government.
Benbow said Student Government cannot proceed with the election without the election board. According to Benbow, the dean of students and vice president of student affairs are in discussion about what to do with the election.
