The elected official and former Oregon House Speaker was arrested for commercial sexual solicitation in April.
Clackamas Community College is asking Dave Hunt to step down from his elected position as a board member in light of his arrest for commercial sexual solicitation.
CCC s Board of Education made the difficult decision to ask Hunt to resign for the good of the college in a statement released July 14. Mr. Hunt s continuing to serve on the board is detrimental to the college and its students, Hunt s fellow board members wrote. We understand that Mr. Hunt has pleaded not guilty to the charge, but at a time when equity and inclusion are the touchstones of our work, the college cannot have in leadership a person who put himself in the position of being charged with a crime, the victims of which are nearly always vulnerable women… We hope he puts the college s interests first and allows us to appoint a replacement to his position.
