The Student Government executive board hosted a press conference on Wednesday night in response to Malachi Randolph's resignation.
Chloe Anagnos, current vice president, said she will become president and current Senate President pro-tempore Alyssa France will become vice president.
They will be sworn in some time within the next week.
The SGA student senate will hold an election within two weeks to replace the spot vacated by France.
Anagnos, France and Giang Tran, SGA secretary, were present at the conference.
All three said they were not personally offended by Randolph’s tweets.
“Over the past few years we have become such close friends,” Tran said. “But we can understand how some students could be offended by his tweets.”
Randolph would have been eligible for a stipend for full tuition as SGA president, and all executive members receive a partial stipend.
Anagnos said it is likely the stipends will transfer in full to the members who will be permanent members of the executive board.
Randolph made the decision to resign on his own accord, Anagnos said, although she does believe he made the right decision.
“Malachi went ahead and did what he thought was best for himself,” she said.
