It is the purpose of any governing document to elucidate the easiest possible discourse between the students and their environment,

Whereas, at times it becomes necessary to amend governing documents in order to make them re-align with the will and spirit of the student body,

Whereas, the TGIF Bylaws are in need of such a re-alignment,

Whereas, the TGIF Bylaws make such a change possible by articulating an amendment process in Section 1 of Article VIII of which states, “The TGIF Bylaws may be amended with a 3/5 majority approval by the Grant Making Committee and a 2/3 majority by the Legislative Council”,

Therefore, with the necessary majorities in Legislative Council and the Grant Making Committee the amendments provided below shall be immediately put into effect.
