Just scant hours before Nichols ultimately announced his resignation, he was approached by current and former members of the UC’s executive board in an orchestrated attempt to force his resignation. His leadership, attendance, and dedication to the UC were questioned, and threats to embarrass him and his friends were issued. Ten UC representatives, the number required by the UC’s rules, were prepared to submit a petition of impeachment against him. It was under these circumstances that Ian Nichols resigned...
Nichols did not do much as UC vice president. But during my time at Harvard, no vice president has. It falls to the president and Student Affairs Committee (SAC) chair to speak to the administration on behalf of the student body. Organizing concerts and large social events is under the purview of the Harvard Concert Commission and the chair of the Campus Life Committee (CLC). The vice president has no formal responsibilities besides a handful of internal housekeeping matters, like taking attendance at meetings...
Many on the UC never quite got over that: the vast majority of UC representatives supported Matthew J. Glazer ’06 and his running mate Clay Capp for office. With Glazer elected president but Capp overlooked in favor of Nichols, the UC leadership eventually began looking for ways to oust Nichols. When they sensed an opportunity, they struck, and were able to drive Nichols from office...
Opponents stronger than Capp had to be prevented from running against him. Capp has no accomplishments on the UC to speak of, so this effectively required Capp to run unopposed. Christina L. Adams ’06 (former CLC chair), Aaron D. Chadbourne ’06 (current SAC chair), Samita A. Mannapperuma ’06 (former vice presidential candidate and current Ivy Council head delegate), S. Faraz Munaim ’06 (current UC treasurer), Lauren P.S. Epstein ’07 (current CLC chair), John S. Haddock ’07 (current SAC vice chair), E.E. Keenan...
...only person willing to run against Capp. While I have a storied UC resumé, I am a graduating senior. My only campaign promise was that if elected I would do nothing before I leave office upon graduation. A new vice president would then be selected by the UC or by special popular election next year...
