| Synopsis: ASUCI Executive Officer Responsibilities Bylaw Amendment | |
| Date of Presentation: |
|
| Whereas, the ASUCI Bylaws, Article 3, Section 2, Subsection a. outlines the executive officer duties, Whereas, these duties are long out of date and refer to an antiquated organizational structure and commissions that no longer exist, Whereas, in order to hold executive officers accountable for their obligations to the student body it is very important to be clear about what their responsibilities are, Whereas, these revisions are endorsed by all of the Executive Officers who believe that they will rectify the discrepancies between their stated responsibilities and actual responsibilities while improving the efficiency of the organization, Let it therefore be resolved that Article 3, Section 2, Subsection a. of the ASUCI Bylaws be amended to read as follows: a.
