The impeachment hearing of ASLMU senator for diversity and inclusion, Stephanie Martinez, has begun. The Loyolan will be live-tweeting the event. Stay tuned for updates

In September, a petition to impeach Martinez resurfaced following the founding of a Students for Trump Instagram page, led by Martinez. http://www.laloyolan.com/news/petition-to-impeach-aslmu-senator-resurfaces-following-the-creation-of-lmu-students-for-trump-instagram/article_a16f7b2c-8d88-50ee-99e7-037fe40b345f.html#comments

ASLMU Bylaws regarding impeachment are as follows: "Egregious and/or intentional violations of official ASLMU or University, rules, policies, or procedures as they relate to the individual’s duties as a Senator..."

... “conduct that violates the mission of ASLMU or the University and conduct that severely damages the integrity or authority of ASLMU or the office held by the individual in question."

VP Elsie Mares has begun the hearing with a statement on the bylaws regarding impeachment and an acknowledgment of the emotionally-charged environment of the issue at hand.
