Tracy Earll should resign as an appointed SFC chair out of respect for the voters who did not elect her. I believe resigning is the honorable thing to do and the alternative is an illegitimate term in office where she is bound to catch a lot of criticism. But before that, Tracy needs to ask herself if this is more about the students and their right to choose their leaders, or is it more about her personally? Her actions will answer that question soon enough.
The consent of the governed is achieved in the election process and as it stands, she lost that contest and cannot claim to represent a student body who did not elect her. Period.
