Yousaf said the current executive will carry out those events, but the rest of her portfolio remains without leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEverything regarding student groups and events will slow down and of course it will make a difference for students but we will try our best to cover as much as we can,\u201d Yousaf said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the RSU\u2019s website, nominations for the 2018-19 RSU executive open Jan. 22, with elections taking place Feb. 13-15. Yousaf said no plans have been made to change the process for filling the vice-president student life and events position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe president has to appoint someone and the entire board ratifies that person with a two-third majority,\u201d Yousaf said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next executive meeting is scheduled for Jan. 15, and Yousaf hopes they will discuss the resignation and electoral process in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhoever the person is I think will be [decided] after elections like, whoever wins the election we\u2019ll basically offer them the position but that\u2019s just my opinion. I don\u2019t know where other executives stand on it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personally, Yousaf said he will miss seeing Emberson in the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe was a really great help to me inside and outside of the office,\u201d he said. \u201cRight now it\u2019s a really weird feeling not to see her in the office. Definitely going to miss her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
