Texas State student president Connor Clegg removed from office

 10:30 p.m. update: The Texas State University student government voted to impeach student president Connor Clegg Monday night, removing him from office two days before his term expires in a case that has roiled this campus for months.

“I am thrilled, happy, excited, overwhelmed,” said Emmy Orioha, president of the school’s Pan African Action Committee. “It’s incredible to see student power making a difference at this university.”

Clegg, who faced impeachment based on his threat to de-fund the school newspaper after it published a controversial column on whiteness in December, said he wasn’t surprised by the hearing’s outcome. “I’m ok, I completed a full year,” he said. “Texas State is going through growing pains right now.”
