Synopsis: By-Laws Amendment: External Deputy Student Advocate General
Date of Presentation: 2016-11-29
 

 

Whereas, the Office of the Student Advocate General is the body that is in charge of holding ASUCI accountable towards its students and serving as a guide for students to navigate through and offer suggestions about ASUCI, UC, and UCI policies,

 

Whereas, the Internal Deputy Student Advocate General has the constitutional duty of monitoring and reporting constitutional malfeasance in ASUCI, auditing ASUCI offices and branches, and providing opportunities for students to influence the programming that the organization offers,

 

Whereas, the External Deputy Student Advocate General has the responsibility of educating the student body on ASUCI, UC, and UCI policies, and serving as a student voice to the ASUCI Senate,

 

Let it therefore be resolved that the ASUCI By-Laws be amended in the following manner:
