Senior co-treasurer impeached

Senior Class Council Co-Treasurer Tiffany Gee was impeached by a 4-2 vote at a meeting on Monday night.

Gee was removed from her position after she reportedly told four members of the Council that she knew someone who had made fake tickets for the most recent senior pub night, but she refused to provide the person's name. A week later, though, she denied knowing anyone who had forged tickets.

She was charged with committing acts detrimental to the Council. "Not handing forth the names of people causing financial stress to the Council created a conflict of interest," current Council Treasurer Andy Katzenberg said.

Between 60 and 80 students used forged tickets to attend the event on Nov. 13 at Harvard Square's Hong Kong Restaurant and Bar

"The bottom line is that this was a student matter involving students' money," Assistant Director of Student Activities Ed Cabellon said. "It was within the Council's right to impeach [Gee] if they felt she was not doing her job to the best of her ability."

According to Cabellon, who advises the Council, "the Council is responsible for Senior Week, and there's too much at stake for someone to keep making mistakes."

Katzenberg served as co-treasurer with Gee because they tied in the Council elections. "This new responsibility is nothing I didn't expect to have when I first ran," he said. "Now that this tension is behind us, the council can move on and work better."
