To Whom it May Concern,
I regret to inform you that I will be resigning from my position as Humor Editor of the Campus Times, effective Tuesday, April 1. I do not take this decision lightly, and it was not easy to make. However, I believe that it is a step in the right direction for me. I just simply cannot stay in such an increasingly hostile environment.
Before elaborating, I want to sincerely express my gratitude for all of the shared memories and fun times that we’ve had in the CT office. I don’t think I would have survived any of the painful late-night production sessions if not for the amazing company that I found myself surrounded by. Ever since I was elected as Humor Editor of the CT, I’ve enjoyed many laughs with incredible colleagues. I am eternally grateful for all of the support and inspiration that I’ve received from everyone. You all shine so brightly in my memories.
I sincerely love this place, which is why I feel it is my responsibility to mention the shortcomings of this environment; the reasons that motivated my resignation. It pains me to witness the atrocities committed in this office. Within the CT, trust is constantly being undermined and, for the past couple weeks, betrayal has been the only constant. We have been forced to constantly witness murders of our dear friends, and forced to fear the people that we once thought we could trust. I personally got called into the office just to get stabbed in cold blood. After that encounter, I truly wondered, “Where does the basic trust between people lie?”
I had to reconsider my commitment to the CT in these past few days, and I realized that I just could not bring myself to continue working in such a hostile environment. Therefore, I have no choice but to set foot in a new direction. With all that said, I am happy to announce that I will be following my passions as the Humour Editor at the Campus Times instead. Please support me in my new position.
Sincerely,
Brian Ly
Former Humor Editor
Current Humour Editor
