AMS VP finance taking a leave of absence for ‘personal reasons'

AMS VP Finance Gavin Fung-Quon is taking a leave of absence due to “personal reasons,” according to a statement from President Christian ‘CK’ Kyle to The Ubyssey.

“We extend our sincere gratitude to Gavin for his dedication to students and his tireless efforts to enhance our campus community and wish him the very best during his time away,” wrote CK.

The leave went into effect November 8 and beginning November 12 CK has taken on the responsibility of VP finance until an interim VP finance can be hired. CK is also currently serving as interim VP academic and university affairs (AUA) — as the previous VP AUA was removed from office by AMS Council on November 6 — until a by-election for VP AUA can be held in the coming weeks.

The job posting for interim VP finance reads that the employment would last until the end of the VP finance's term in April.

“We remain committed to ensuring that the VP Finance office continues to operate smoothly and provide strong support for students during this period of transition,” wrote CK.
