SGA President and Vice President

Alex Byron and Kunal Naik

Kunal Naik has resigned as OU Student Government Association President, according to a press release.

Naik said in the release he does not believe he can bring the dedication necessary to act as president, and that the position has taken a toll on him.

"I would love to continue this opportunity, but I also have an obligation to my physical and mental health," Naik said in the release. 

Former SGA Vice President Alex Byron has assumed office as the new SGA President. 

"Kunal has made invaluable contributions to SGA and has consistently worked to improve the student experience here at OU," Byron said in the release. 

The vice president position is now vacant as a result of Naik's resignation. Applicants may apply for the position starting Aug. 20. 

Naik was arrested for public intoxication in late December and was nearly impeached as a result. He apologized for his actions in a letter to the editor on Jan. 27. 

Former Undergraduate Student Congress chair Lauren Aragon also stepped down from her position April 6.
