Tamez sent her letter of resignation over the council Listserv only a few hours before Council was set to hold its weekly meeting. In her letter, Tamez emphasized her gratitude for the opportunities she had while on council and explained that her resignation is for personal reasons.
In an unrelated interview, Vice President of Finance Sean O’Neal told the Guardian that Tamez was supposed to represent A.S. Council in a Judicial Board hearing against the grievances regarding college council funding before she announced her resignation.
