Ted Goodman

Ted Goodman served two terms as Student Association President during the 2011-12 and 2012-13 academic years.

In 2012, Goodman became just the second SVSU student since Armen Hratchian in 2004 — and just the seventh student in 45 years — to serve two consecutive terms as Student Association President.

The year before, in one of the closest student elections in university history, Goodman eked out a 10-vote victory in extraordinary fashion to unseat former Association President Julie Boon in a nail-biting election that saw more than 880 votes.

Resignation as a Representative
In 2010, Goodman resigned as a Student Association Representative after association leaders threatened to put him up for review after he failed to attend required meetings and commitments.

Mr. Goodman's resignation was surrounded by controversy after he accused association leadership of impropriety. He told The Saginaw Valley Journal that he "got screwed" and described the situation as a "lynching."

At the time, members of the association’s leadership said that Goodman missed multiple committee meetings, an association meeting, and failed to complete designated office hours.
