About Resignation in brief
Resignation is the formal act of leaving or quitting one’s office or position. A resignation is a personal decision to exit a position, though outside pressure exists in many cases. Resignation can be used as a political manoeuvre, as in the Philippines in July 2005, when ten cabinet officials resigned en masse to pressure President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo to follow suit. In a club, society, or other voluntary association, a member may resign from an officer position in that organization or even from the organization itself.
In Robert’s Rules of Order, this is called a request to be excused from a duty. A resignation may also be withdrawn. In 2006, Harvard president Lawrence Summers resigned after making the provocative suggestion that the underrepresentation of female academics in math and science could be due to factors other than sheer discrimination.
