Author:   Tin Hong   Second:  Gurneel Boparai
Synopsis: By-laws Amendment: Clarification of Senator Confirmations
Date of Presentation: 1/16/18
 

 

Whereas, the ASUCI Constitution Article 5., Section 2 (c), which reads “Officials appointed to fill a vacancy in an elected position will take office immediately following confirmation and will serve the remaining unexpired portion of the term.” is not clear on who or what body determines the “confirmation” aspect of the clause and,

 

Whereas, some additional defining on confirmation procedure is needed and,

 

Whereas, the Judicial Board has requested the Senate clarify their confirmation procedures and,

 

Let it be resolved that an ASUCI Bylaws Article III. Membership Provisions, Section E. Vacancies and Appointments, Clause 7 be added that reads, “Upon Senate approval of an appointment to a Senate seat, the President of the Senate shall confirm the appointee within one week of the Senate’s vote.  The President of the Senate shall notify the appointee of their confirmation and schedule their training, while forwarding their name and information to the ASUCI Professional Staff for processing.” and,

 

Let it be resolved that the previous Bylaw Article III., Section E., Clause 7 be renumbered to become Clause 8.
