R.1: Regarding the 2010–2011 Operating Bylaws of the Cornell Graduate & Professional Student Assembly

Whereas in August 2010, the currently standing GPSA Committee Chairs reviewed the working procedures set for their respective committees, as outlined in the GPSA Bylaws; and

Whereas it is stated in the current GPSA Bylaws (Sect III.2 (iv)−2):

The revised GPSA Bylaws document is to be presented as a resolution at the first business meeting of the Fall Semester for approval.

• a) A simple majority is required for approval.
• b) If the revised GPSA Bylaws document is passed, the revised document is accepted as the operating GPSA Bylaws.

Be it therefore resolved that the GPSA accepts the 2010–2011 GPSA Bylaws document presented with this resolution as the operating procedures that the 2010–2011 GPSA will follow; and

Be it further resolved that the Office of Assemblies post the new 2010–2011 GPSA Bylaws on the GPSA Website for public access and download; and

Be it finally resolved that this resolution be sent to Peggy Beach, Director of the Office of Assemblies; Kent Hubbell, Dean of Students; and Barbara Knuth, Vice-Provost and Dean of the Graduate School.

Respectfully Submitted,

Thomas J. Balcerski
Graduate & Professional Student Assembly Humanities Representative
