Impeachment proceedings for two executive positions of the Towers Residence Association senate that were scheduled for Monday have been dropped.

Before winter break, TRA President Brian Cameron and TRA Vice President Bill Wychulis had charges of impeachment brought against them by TRA senators.

The reason for the charges’ dismissal was not released.

Ben Chamberlain, adviser to the TRA senate, said he was glad the charges were dropped. “I think the people realized it was not going to pass,” he said.

Wychulis said the charges were not brought up during the meeting Tuesday. “The senator that was the spearhead resigned his position,” he explained.

Also, Cameron, sophomore in pre-business, resigned his position on Tuesday. TRA Vice President Bill Wychulis has moved from vice president to president to fill the vacancy.

Cameron said he “wants to spend more time with my friends, towards academics and getting out of this place.”

Cameron and Wychulis each were facing seven charges of impeachment. Both faced charges for failure to organize several senate committees and also failure to notify the senate and Executive Council that they would not be using the committees.

Cameron also faced charges for inappropriate vocal treatment during a senate meeting, fixing the appointments of TRA Treasurer Matthew Heerema and Wychulis and not filling the chief justice position. He also faced charges of failing to attend and preside over the Executive Council.

Wychulis was charged with making disparaging remarks against other TRA Executive Council and senate members, misrepresenting the speakers’ list for a debate, directing an Inter-Residence Hall Association representative to introduce a bill, failing to fill the position of chief justice and not receiving senate approval for speaker during debate.

Zewde Demissie, Lamson House vice president and IRHA representative for Wallace, said she is “at odds” with Cameron’s resignation.

“I was on the impeachment team, so it was kind of like I was going for that,” Demissie said. “We just filled a whole bunch of exec positions, and now we have two more to fill.”

Chamberlain said he felt the impeachment process would not have benefited the TRA senate. “It could have gotten ugly and drawn out,” he said.

Since Wychulis’s promotion has left the vice presidency open, applications are out now for the position, and anyone can apply. Applicants will be interviewed by the TRA executive committee, and the appointment is “contingent by approval of whole senate,” Chamberlain said.

Wychulis said the applications are due Jan. 28, and he hopes to have the new position filled for the Jan. 31 meeting.
