Michael Kilbride

Michael A. Kilbride was the 42nd Student Body President of the University of Central Florida's Student Government Association. Kilbride previously served as Executive Director of Knight-Thon.

Kilbride and his running mate Taylor Lochrane were elected with 51.32% of the popular vote in the 2010 presidential election. Vice President Lochrane resigned in January 2011 for professional reasons, and Kilbride nominated Kelsi Mora to replace him. Mora was not confirmed by the Senate, and Kilbride declined to nominate an additional replacement.

Spending scandal

On April 6, 2011, an impeachment affidavit was filed in the Student Senate alleging Kilbride improperly spent Activity and Service Fee funds. Controversy arose when KnightNews ran an expose on spending by the executive branch including the purchase of a new desk for the SGA office at a cost of $8,000, and the awarding of a $50,000 contract to a company with which Kilbride had a prior experience. The 43rd Student Senate voted 7–23 that the impeachment affidavit did not have merit.
