2020-2021 has been a year of many changes for Southern Oregon University, least of which is the transitions of leadership that have taken place in the ASSOU. The turnover has caused some concern from students, with an emphasis on the state of the student budget and whether the inconsistency in leadership has slowed the process.
There have been three leadership transferalls since the beginning of the COVID-19 epidemic: from Sarah Grulikowski to Niko Hatch, from Niko Hatch to Andrew Zucker, and from Andrew Zucker to standing President Violet Crain. The former two presidents stepped down from the role for varying reasons, and the latter has since graduated from SOU.
