As the Associated Students of Diablo Valley College gets ready for the fall semester, they do so without their President, Francisco Hinojosa. Despite having won the popular vote last spring, Hinojosa will not be President for the fall semester.
Acting in his stead, in accordance with the recently updated ASDVC by-laws, will be Ryan Souza, the former Vice President of Legislative Affairs, until the ASDVC meets to discuss the issue, their first meeting being on Tuesday, September 11th, at 2PM in the Student Union building.
Hinojosa has left office for “personal reasons”, says returning ASDVC Adviser Yvonne Canada. On Wednesday the 29th however, Hinojosa made a post on Facebook where, in passing, he mentioned that he has been deemed unfit for the position because of failing a class during the spring semester.
The matter of who will replace Hinojosa will be voted on by the ASDVC, most likely in their second or third meeting, the 18th and 25th, respectively. As per ASDVC code, open elections will not be held to settle the issue.
