Student Association Entertainment Director Erin Lachaal reported she and other SA members have received about 1,500 signatures in their effort to impeach SA President Nick Johns.
This week, SA members have circulated a petition throughout the Student Union and other areas on campus to collect the 2,541 student signatures - one more than the total votes cast in March's election - needed to impeach Johns.
They must collect students' names and person numbers and give the list to Student Life if they reach the number. Then, if the list is verified, the movement will go to the Student-Wide Judiciary (SWJ), which will review the claims before finalizing the decision.
If SWJ accepts the motion, Johns will be immediately removed from office and SA Vice President Lyle Selsky will be named interim president - while also being vice president - until a "special election" takes place. Students seeking to run for president will need 200 signatures and person numbers from students to get on the ballot.
Lachaal hopes SA will receive the necessary number of signatures by the end of the week.
