Dean Bresciani, vice president for student affairs, announced that he had been asked to submit his resignation Friday.
Texas A&M President Elsa Murano and David Parrott, interim vice president for student affairs, said Bresciani deserved the praise of the University and wished him the best of luck Tuesday.
The details of the resignation have not been released, and Jason Cook, vice president for marketing and communications, said the details are between Bresciani and Murano alone.
"Murano had a meeting with Bresciani Friday afternoon, and I don't know the details of that meeting, except what's come out of the e-mails," Cook said.
Cook said Bresciani was an at-will employee because he was an adjunct professor.
"All nonfaculty positions in the A&M System are 'at will,' meaning that any nonfaculty employee may be dismissed from employment with or without cause," according to the Texas A&M University System dismissal policy.
Cook said Bresciani's future employment details are at his discretion to discuss.
Bresciani could not be reached for comment.
Bresciani has served as vice president for student affairs since 2004.
Students across campus gave praises for Bresciani, on Tuesday.
Josh Garlitos, a junior finance major, said he was sad to hear the news.
"I've only heard good things about him, so of course I'm upset he's leaving because I feel like he knew what was going on here," Garlitos said.
Jaquelyn Tullos, a junior biology major, said if Murano called for Bresciani's resignation, she should give the University an explanation.
"I would like to know her reasoning behind it," she said. "Bresciani did so much for the student activities department, so I just don't understand."
Mark Gold, student body president and senior biomedical science major, said Bresciani served the University well.
"He was a great asset to the student body at A&M," Gold said. "He definitely worked hard for the students."
