Student rep resigns

One of Metroâs representatives on the Student Advisory Committee to the Auraria Board resigned Sept. 10, saying the job demanded too much of her time.

ãI didnât have the energy or time to do it anymore,ä said Maria Rodriguez, a  Chicano Studies major. ã(The student  government) and SACAB are pretty supportive of my decision.ä

Rodriguez, 25, said the job, which pays $500 per month, needs somebody who can commit a lot of time to representing Metro students. SACAB representatives work with governing bodies such as Auraria Board of

Directors, Colorado Commission on Higher Education, and Colorado General Assembly.

Rodriguez was one of two SACAB representatives elected by a student vote in April, along with the other members of SGA. The other member is Jane Duncan.

Now, student Government Assembly President Karmin Trujillo has to appoint a replacement. Trujillo said that will happen within a week.
