Author:   Neil Bautista   Second:  Carissa Cruz
Synopsis: Suspend Rules for Thursday, January 26, 2012
Date of Presentation: January 19, 2012
 

Whereas, per the bylaws of ASUCI, Article VI, Section B, Sub-section 1 reads,  "Council meetings shall be held Tuesday and Thursday from 5 pm until 7 pm each academic quarter,"

Whereas, per the bylaws of   ASUCI, Article V, Section A conveys "The Legislative Council...[abides] by the parliamentary procedure rules as described in Robert's Rules of Order,"

Whereas, due to the necessity of training and familiarizing the newly elected council members--as well as the current ones--in how to utilize their available resources, the nature of this Thursday's meeting (January 26, 2012) will need to be changed,

Whereas, during the closed meeting this Thursday, the council will have an informal retreat with different representatives of student affairs (and the campus as a whole),

Let it be resolved that the agenda for the meeting this Thursday be suspended,

Let it further be resolved that the council shall suspend the use of parliamentary procedure according to Robert's Rules or Order in order to facilitate this Thursday's meeting.
