One Student Govern-ment Assembly member quit last week, citing only ãpersonalä reasons, and another said she intends to resign soon.

Jane Duncan, assembly representative on the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board, quit Jan. 22. She wouldnât say what led her to resign.

ãIt was just some personal stuff, I mean, more than anything,ä Duncan said.

She added she was happy with her work on SACAB, a group that includes students from all three Auraria colleges and takes on campuswide issues such as child care and food service.

ãJane had to resign and she did it very politely, and it was very unfortunate because she had a lot to offer the assembly,ä said assembly President Karmin Trujillo.

SACAB President Melissa Ramirez also refused to comment on Duncanâs resignation.

The student government interviewed candidates Jan. 22 for Teresa Harperâs job, vice president of Diversity.
Harper said she couldnât commit the time on campus that the job required, especially since she is student teaching at Overland High School this semester.

Harper said even though she wonât be on the assembly, sheâll still promote minority rights on campus. In fact, she said, sheâs not moving files out of her desk in the assembly office.

Trujillo said she would appoint a vice president of Diversity at the groupâs Jan. 29 meeting or the following week, Feb. 5. She said she would have a replacement for Duncan Jan. 29.
