The judicial branch of the University of Wisconsin student government ruled Tuesday night to remove the vice chair from office, according to one justice.

Associated Students of Madison SJ Justice Kate Fifield said Vice Chair Beth Huang’s dismissal stems from the community service she was required to do after admitting to violating election rules last spring. Huang campaigned in university housing, which is not allowed under ASM bylaws.

Huang was required to do 20 hours of community service and provide proof by Sept. 15, Fifield said. 

While she turned in paperwork saying the hours had been completed on Sept. 15, SJ Justice Miriam Liabo ruled Huang turned the paperwork in too late in the day to let SJ have a enough time to verify, and had missed the deadline.

Fifield stressed she did not have an opinion on the proceedings.

Huang said she plans to contest the Student Judiciary’s decision.

She said she complied with all the conditions of the ruling, and plans on using time-stamped emails from ASM leaders Tia Nowak and Sade Johnson, who verified Huang’s community service hours and led the community service efforts Huang counted toward her hours.

ASM Chair Allie Gardner had not been formally notified of Huang’s removal as of late Tuesday night, and was unsure of how exactly her dismissal would be addressed at Wednesday’s Student Council meeting.

Fifield said Nominations Board Chair Niko Magallon was removed from his seat as well as part of the decision. Magallon canvassed with Huang during the spring elections.
