R. 80 Student Assembly Elections Committee

Whereas, the membership of the Elections Committee is currently dependent on Student Assembly and University Assembly membership and fluctuates on an annual basis; and,

Whereas, membership to the Elections Committee should be open to members outside of the Student Assembly and University Assembly to allow for full impartiality.

Be it therefore resolved, that Bylaw 7.6.a.3 be amended to read: Elections Committee - The committee will coordinate and implement regularly scheduled and special elections of the SA and directly elected undergraduate representatives to the UA. The SA Director of Elections shall serve as chair with vote. The committee consists of ten voting members, of whom less than half may also be members of the SA. At the first SA meeting of each academic year, the Staffing Committee will present a slate of proposed members to the SA for confirmation, which the SA must approve or disapprove in its entirety. The Staffing Committee may fill any subsequent vacancies with confirmation by the SA. No person may be a candidate in an election supervised by the committee in the same academic year when the person served as a voting member of the committee.

Respectfully submitted,

Charlie Feng ‘11
Co-chair, Student Assembly Finance Commission

Nikki Junewicz
Director of Elections, Student Assembly

Vince Andrews ‘11
Vice President of Public Relations, Student Assembly
