The Associated Students of Citrus College president resigned on April 6, leaving a temporary void in leadership for this branch of campus governance.
Former ASCC President Daniel Caldera left office citing personal reasons, Student Life Supervisor Rosario Garcia said.
Caldera took office on July 21, 2021.
The ASCC does not have a sitting vice president for this term, leaving the position of president vacant until the next ASCC meeting on April 26.
The ASCC Constitution dictates if the vice president position is not filled, a vote will be conducted by the sitting ASCC officers to determine a new president.
ASCC Legislative Liaison Arvin Shahid and ASCC Senator Hala Fakhoury have expressed interest in the open leadership position, Garcia said.
“Luckily we do have some candidates so we will be back on track,” Garcia said. “But of course there are certain things we have to hold off on until we have a president.”
ASCC officers will vote for either Shahid or Fakhoury during the April 26 meeting to determine who will finish Caldera’s presidential term that ends on June 18.
Both candidates will be eligible to run for reelection. However, both Shahid and Fakhoury are set to graduate after this semester, Dean of Students Maryann Tolano-Leveque said. This will leave the position open to another new candidate for the upcoming term.
The 2022-23 student government elections will take place from May 2-4, which will determine the ASCC president for the following term.
