AMS Council vote to remove VP Academic and University Affairs

Last night, AMS Council voted to remove VP Academic and University Affairs (AUA) Drédyn Fontana six months into his term, effective immediately.

The motion needed three-quarters approval from Council and passed with 17 in favour and 3 opposed. The vote was conducted through a secret ballot, according to AMS President Christian 'CK' Kyle in an email to The Ubyssey.

On October 9, Council passed a motion from the EPA Committee to consider Fontana's "poor performance" in his role as VP AUA, among other concerns.

CK wrote the AMS will be releasing a statement shortly.

In an interview with The Ubyssey, Fontana said "I'm really just disappointed."

"There was a lot of work left to do, and there was a lot of people that I felt like were counting on me, and I can't be there for them anymore."

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
