Adam Hall was not impeached at Tuesday’s SGA meeting following a short session of supporters backing his importance to the senate.
Following an investigation, the Committee of Internal Affairs found that Hall had missed three and a half absences instead of the previously stated four and a half. The CIA excused two absences due to illness.
Under house rules, Hall was still in violation of the absence policy, but several members of the SGA voiced their reasons as to why he should stay.
“Adam is the only senator from the college of education so that is 324 students who would no longer voice their opinion,” said Dan Stana, the newly elected Vice President of Administrative Affairs. “I say vote against impeachment.”
Several senators mentioned that Hall had never missed a finance meeting, which is a committee he is very active in.
“The spirit he has brings life to every meeting,” said Senator Chiquita King.
Hall apologized for his absences and went on to talk about his dedication to SGA. After he finished, his friend Kathryn McAbee went on to speak to the senate on his behalf.
“I’ve known Adam for a couple of years and he is really dedicated to the SGA,” she said after the meeting was over. “He’s in it for the right reasons.”
No one voted for impeachment, and there was one extension from the CIA head.
