The Allegheny Student Government announced the departure of a key cabinet official, added another cabinet member, and discussed the future of the bookkeeping position at their regular General Assembly on Tuesday, Oct. 31.
Cabinet reports began with the financial portfolio and the announcement that Hunter Goerman, ’25, had stepped down as director of the Treasury.
“We wish him the best,” said ASG Vice President Sam Ault, ’26.
ASG President Nicole Recio Bremer, ’25, was not in attendance at the meeting because of “an already-known scheduling conflict,” according to Dean for Student Life and ASG Adviser Trae Yeckley. Ault read a statement from Recio Bremer on Goerman’s departure.
“She wants to make it clear that finances will not be affected by this,” Ault said. “We’re still going to be able to support our clubs. Dean Yeckley, myself and Nicole will be leading this until we find someone to take the position.”
After the meeting, Ault added that Goerman’s replacement has not yet been selected.
“Details of exactly how we’ll be searching and inviting people to apply are not yet decided,” Ault said.
No reason was given for Goerman’s departure during the meeting. After the meeting, Yeckley declined to comment on Goerman’s departure.
“We’re not going to comment on any reason why,” Yeckley said. “We like to keep private conversations private.”
Goerman did not respond to a request for comment.
Goerman’s departure comes after a turbulent few weeks for ASG’s financial office. The body still has yet to formally codify the decision to remove club budgets by passing fresh financial guidelines for the new academic year.
Last week, Goerman reported total spending of around $8,900, though the requests listed in the minutes totaled just $8,300. The minutes have not been updated since they were first posted last week.
The Cabinet also added a new member. Co-Director of Student Affairs London Dejarnette, ’24, nominated Iris Styers, ’26, to hold the other half of the Student Affairs portfolio. Dejarnette pitched Styers as someone that could expand Student Affairs’ reach across campus.
“Greek Life, you have more connections to — that serves a huge part of our population here on this campus that I really am not able to connect to in tangible ways,” Dejarnette said to Styers, before addressing the Senate as a whole. “Iris is just involved with many different environments on campus that dedicate time towards service and community building.”

Styers was approved by the Senate with a near-unanimous vote and will be sworn in at next week’s GA.
She fills a seat emptied by Autumn Stoneking, ’23, who was approved for the role at the end of last spring. However, Stoneking was quietly dropped from ASG’s roster over the summer. Dejarnette has been the sole director of Student Affairs since the beginning of the semester.
During the financial report, Ault read through the week’s finance requests, which totalled $11,833.01. The funding was passed almost unanimously, though Senator Aidan McGrory, ’26, voted against approving the spending without explanation. Finance requests are usually passed with no opposition.
Class of 2026 President Lorenzo Scarnati asked about the state of ASG’s total budget, which has not yet been announced or approved in a General Assembly.
Yeckley replied during the meeting that they had not yet received a final budget number from Chief Financial Officer Linda Wetsell and would be holding a meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 1 to discuss the numbers further.
In a follow-up message on Thursday, Yeckley wrote that ASG’s General Fund had been set at $335,000 for the academic year. Earlier this year, The Campus calculated ASG’s Surplus Fund to be around $616,712, meaning ASG’s total budget this year is just over $951,000.
Of that $951,000, ASG has approved a total of $70,866.68 in spending since the start of the year — around $2,000 from the Surplus Fund and the rest from the General Fund. That would make the current balance of the General Fund around $266,000, and the current balance of the Surplus Fund just under $615,000.
Dejarnette also asked for an update on ASG’s new bookkeeper, and whether that person would be taking some of the workload off the ASG treasurer.
“Yes, it will help,” Yeckley said. “We’ve also kind of readjusted the way we’ve done things in the finance committee today and we will help move that going forward. I think that will also help by actually using the committee as more of a committee instead of just a body to be there.”
At the GA on Sept. 19, Yeckley had said that an individual had already been identified for the position and that a new bookkeeper would begin work “within two weeks.”
In an email Wednesday afternoon, Yeckley wrote that existing college staff would assume the role starting next week.
“Financial services will be taking over the bookkeeping position for ASG and a member (or members) of their team will begin meeting with the Finance Committee on Tuesday,” Yeckley wrote. “I am meeting with them tomorrow to review the ASG finance processes and they will take over from there.”
ASG has been without a bookkeeper since early 2022, and much of the backend financial work has been placed in the hands of ASG’s director of the Treasury and Student Life staff.
In other business, ASG appointed three students to college committees: Binderiya Batsaikhan, ’25, to the Study Away and Campus Internationalization Committee, Arina Otbliesk, ’25, to the Academic Standards and Awards Committee and Ana Turhan, ’27, to the Campus Life and Community Standards Committee.
ASG will meet again on Tuesday, Nov. 7 in room CC 301/302 of the campus center.
