The Student Assembly dismissed calls for the removal of four student leaders, including Binghamton University Student Association President Adam Amit, at Monday’s meeting.

Ian Swan, Assembly representative for Dickinson Town Council, authored three resolutions, which separately sought the impeachment of Amit, Assembly chair Elahd Bar-Shai and research and planning chair Lawrence Faulstich. The Assembly voted to discard the resolutions regarding Amit and Faulstich before each of the impeachments could reach a vote at Monday’s Assembly meeting.

A resolution calling for Bar-Shai’s impeachment did reach a vote, but was voted down 36 to one, with seven abstentions.

A final resolution suggested the resignation of Assembly vice chair Josh Berk, but ultimately the Assembly voted to keep all four student leaders in office to continue performing their elected duties.

Concerns over their behavior and professional conduct sparked the resolutions.

Amit, Bar-Shai and Faulstich were removed after a full-body vote for drinking at the State University of New York SA conference Oct. 24. The three admitted at the Oct. 26 BU Asssembly meeting to having one beer each, in addition to allowing an unnamed undergraduate to vouch as a representative of the Graduate Student Organization without the organization’s approval.

Berk was accused of being complicit in the GSO misrepresentation, though he stated he was not involved in the falsification of any documents.

“They went and represented Binghamton University at SUNY SA and basically made a mockery out of our school’s name,” said Steve Interrante, an Assembly representative for Off Campus Community College. “Over 75 percent of the schools there voted to throw them out of the meeting because of their actions — that says something and that should say something to all of you that this is how they acted.”

Interrante was one of the few representatives in favor of impeachment.

The resolutions were first introduced at an Oct. 2 Assembly meeting.

In the week between when the resolutions were introduced and voted on the community governments unofficially voted in favor of rescinding all resolutions, with the exception of DTC, who voted to sustain the resolution to impeach Bar-Shai.

Bar-Shai did not make an appearance at DTC’s Tuesday meeting, unlike Amit and Faulstich.

“From the e-mails I got from my constituents … they are disappointed with the actions of Amit, but they are happy with the way he has worked with the administration,” said Dov Berkman, Assembly representative for College-in-the-Woods. “They made it very, very clear they didn’t want him impeached.”

In addition, each of the four resignation resolutions was considered separately, and the Assembly voted by an overwhelming majority each time against it.

Vice President for Academic Affairs Daniel Rabinowitz said impeaching Amit would be detrimental to the efficiency of the SA.

“I guarantee you that if the president leaves, this whole E-board is going to get screwed … the administration is not going look at us the same. It’s going to affect the SA for the rest of the year,” he said.

Amit said the actions of the Assembly signaled a strong desire to spurn political infighting and move forward with programs that would benefit the student population.

“The students want to get past what happened and continue the good work we’ve done thus far,” he said.

Bar-Shai said the meeting marked the end of a “protracted political battle.”

“The students want us to get to work, and the people doing the work want to get to work … When you have these resolutions on the floor, it’s hard to get anything done,” he said.

The Assembly also considered a resolution to censure Berk and offer a vote of no confidence in response to his alleged involvement in the scandal at the SUNY SA conference.

The representatives voted to censure Berk, but the vote of no confidence was not approved.
