James Hunter '95, who stepped down as president of the Afro-American Society last weekend, resigned as Area Coordinator for the Gold Coast cluster last Monday.
Sharon LaVoy, the area director in charge of the residence halls on the west side of campus, sent an electronic-mail message to all residents of the Gold Coast cluster on Thursday notifying them of Hunter's resignation.
"Effective last Monday, May 15, James Hunter resigned as the Area Coordinator of the Gold Coast," the message stated.
Claudia Ginsberg '96, a UGA on the second floor of Streeter will take over as AC for the remainder of the term, according to the LaVoy's electronic mail message.
Hunter said yesterday he resigned from the position because he wanted to concentrate more on his studies and his future.
"I resigned for the same reasons I resigned from the Presidency of the AAm," he wrote yesterday in an electronic-mail message.
Hunter told The Dartmouth last week when he resigned as president of the AAm, "I just needed some time off ... to take care of my personal business," and that he had, "a lot of things to do before graduate school."
Hunter came under fire in the AAn due to allegations The Dartmouth Review, an off-campus conservative weekly, made several weeks ago.
The Review alleged that Hunter was brought before the Committee on Standards to face charges of sexual assault and that Hunter was convicted of credit card fraud.
Hunter is also the intern in the Dean of the College Office.
