T K / i g r CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS MEMORANDUM TO: CSUN Senate FROM: CSUN President Sean Kelleher Sfc/ / / >" DATE: October 10, 1985 RE: Dismissal of John Novak, E&P Director On Friday, October 4, 1985, I dismissed "however informally" John Kovak from his duties as Entertainment & Programming Director. It came as the culmintion of a series of complaints of his professionalism. I have been fielding phone calls for John, for the last month, by people who want to speak directly to the President to complain about John, or to ask me to direct John to return their calls. Another problem leading to John's dismissal was many of the events we had, have not had proper advertising, therefore the lack of and poor attendance. John x^as told at the beginning of the year that successful events were a priority in order for us to be able to follow with less popular, but equally important events, such as lectures. I have received numerous complaints regarding John's inability to organize, and execute events regarding deadlines and procedures. X believe that we must show that this kind of unprofessionalism is not indictive of the entire organization. We must take the responsibility of correcting our own problems. It must be said, in all fairness, that John attempted to do a conscientious job, however, poor organization and failure to delegate responsibility, compiled x^ith the lack of initiative to correct those problems pointed out by myself and others have led to his dismissal. Although, the Constitution is somewhat unclear as to the process of which dismissal should be made, it does state "The Senate shall be empowered to dismiss officials by a 2/3 majority vote". I need each and every Senator to lay aside his feelings of conflicting interest, and vote as a Senator. I need you to allow me to do the job I was elected to do and make Student Government respected by both the students, campus and community.
