The impeachment retrial of student body president Connor Clegg last week turned into a sit-in at the L-B-J Student Center. Bobcat Update's Kristen Flowers has more.
What was expected to have been an impeachment trial last Wednesday ended as a sit-in protest calling for Connor Clegg's removal as president after the session failed to attract enough senators and representatives to meet quorum. Pan-African Action Committee Founder Tafari Robertson and Student Senator Claudia Gasponi were among the leaders of the protest.

In response to the protests, employees from the office of Student Diversity and Inclusion, as well as the Vice President for Student Affairs, showed up to diffuse the situation and address student concerns.

Along with Clegg's resignation, the protestors are demanding a full-time immigration attorney be hired, more transparency between administration and students, and a more diverse faculty. The Dean of Students, Dr. Margarita Arellano, issued a statement.

Connor Clegg's term ends tomorrow, but student activism is apparently far from over. For Bobcat Update, I'm Kristen Flowers.
