STUDENT SENATE McGonigle suspends student body treasurer
Adam McGonigle, Wichita junior and student body president, suspended Alex Porte, Great Falls, Va., junior, from his position as student body treasurer Tuesday.
The suspension came after Porte released a memo to The University Daily Kansan detailing McGonigle's recommendations regarding student fee adjustments.
"It is an issue involving students who are employed by Student Senate," McGonigle said. "Employment matters are always confidential."
McGonigle said he would not legally be able to comment on the suspension because it dealt with a student's employment.
student groups for next year. Finance Committee chairman Mark Pacey, Manhattan graduate student, scheduled the hearing around Porte's schedule because Pacey said it was important that Porte be there.
The suspension comes immediately preceding the weekend when Student Senate will have a hearing in which more than $600,000 will be disbursed to
"Me not being at this hearing is a serious, serious deterriment," Porte said. "That is essentially what my job has been building to for the majority of this year."
According to Student Senate rules and regulations, Porte could
choose to appeal his suspension to the Student Executive Committee within a week.
Porte said appealing to the executive committee would add legitimacy to McGonigle's argument, and he wasn't sure he would appeal. If he does, he and McGonigle will present their arguments with witnesses, Overturning the decision would require a two-thirds vote of the committee.
