2002 VP Resigns

By Cara Gitlin · The Johns Hopkins News-Letter · November 8, 2001

Senior class Vice President Shanu Kohli resigned from her position on the Student Council Tuesday.

Kohli "has officially resigned," said Class of 2002 President Stephen Goutman. "I received [the resignation] letter from her [Tuesday]."

Kohli cited the fact that she has "done Council for a while," and she also "just decided [she] had other time commitments."

Goutman acknowledged that Kohli "had personal reasons" for resigning.

A public announcement was not made at Tuesday's Student Council meeting because Goutman said he "read the letter after the meeting." Goutman is "going to make [the announcement] next week."

Her resignation was not a sudden decision, said Kohli. "I talked to Steve [Goutman] for a while (about resigning) and we both decided it was what was best for me."

According to the Student Council by-laws, it "is not mandatory that they" fill the position, said Kohli. The "process is up to Steve [Goutman] and the remaining officers," said Kohli.

The most likely possibility will be to appoint a new officer to take Kohli's place.

"There will be a decision made by the class officers on how to proceed" in the near future, said Goutman. Technically, they are not required to fill the position.

Kohli acknowledged that she is no longer on the Student Council member contact sheet.

Kohli has served on the Student Council for the past three years.

The only remaining step according to Kohli is to have her exit interview, which will take place on Saturday.
