Cogan Calls it Quits: Resignations Plague A.S. Council
News

cogan.jpgFormer Unity Slate presidential candidate, and Muir Senior Senator Jeremy Cogan has announced his resignation from the Associated Students. In a press release sent out Wednesday, Cogan cited an inability to further "progressive" policy in the current A.S. council as a key reason for his departure.

Cogan also stated that he was working on a new progressive project, currently being coordinated with "other significant progressive leaders on campus." Lord knows what that might mean: Another run for president?

The real story here, though, is that 10 out of the 24 A.S. council members will be soon be brand new, and they will have been chosen by their respective college councils. Cogan's resignation accompanies three others this quarter, and the council's six freshman senator slots will be reappointed during fifth week. This is a huge chunk—nearly half—of this year's A.S. council that will not have been directly elected.

This is the council that determines how to spend over $1 million of your student fees. Shouldn't its members be elected by you?
