"As vice president, I could never do this," Burton said a month ago.
When asked about this promise last night, Burton responded: "Technically, I wasn't vice president yet [when I was expelled]."
He was installed as vice president 20 minutes after he was expelled.
Burton said his absences stemmed from a section that conflicted with FiCom meetings.
But Bradley L. Davis '00, who was FiCom chair last year, said Burton's absences are nothing new.
"During the semester I was chair, he said he had a conflict attending meetings and didn't attend most of the meetings," Davis said.
Davis said he was disappointed that Burton didn't attend because FiCom members are assigned individual student groups to "represent" to the committee during the grant application process. When Burton wasn't present, he said, those groups weren't represented.
"If he doesn't attend [the meetings], it's that much less input that we have," Davis said.
