City College Associated Student Government President Renee Worley resigned her position Nov. 3, citing personal reasons and acknowledging that her schedule was preventing her from fulfilling her duties as City College president.
Vice President Justin Turner was elected by the governing student board as its acting president shortly after, and was then voted in as ASG’s new president in a special meeting two days after Worley’s announcement.
Debra Dixon, former ASG president and its current pro-tem senator, was also voted in to fill the vacant role of vice president. Turner and Dixon were both elected unanimously by their peers.
“There was no question on behalf of this board as to whom would be moving into those positions,” said Maszaba Carter, City College’s Inter-Club Council president. “We are extremely grateful for them to be here.”
Worley, who beat Dixon by six votes in last spring’s elections, told ASG members her decision to resign was due in part to her demanding schedule and personal reasons.
“She [Worley] did the right thing by the board and the students by stepping down,” Dixon said. “Renee’s an amazing young lady, and I think she can accomplish anything she puts her mind to.”

Turner, first the ASG public relations officer, will now take over as president, a position that has been fraught with inconsistent leadership over the last three years. Two of the last three ASG presidents, including Worley, have resigned.
Steve Macias, last semester’s ASG president, resigned Jan. 20, 2010, amid fervent protests by his own governing staff over his actions in approving an anti-abortion demonstration during City College’s Constitution Day.
Turner has just over a month to serve out the fall term, with the semester ending Dec. 16. Turner will take over midterm as chief of staff, as Dixon served last year. He will serve out the term, which ends in late February 2011, just after the spring elections.
“We need to get over this lack of leadership the past two years where presidents have come and gone,” Turner said.
Turner describes his style as more hands-on than Worley and feels that his accessibility will be key to his success as City College’s student body president.
“I’m here from Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I can do it,” Turner said.
