Section 1–Amendments to the Charter

  1. Any proposed amendment to this Charter must be introduced to a regular monthly meeting of the Student Council. Both members and non-members of the Student Council can introduce a proposed amendment to this Charter. Non-members of Student Council must present a petition with 100 signatures verified by the Office of Student Life to the Student Council President in order to be added to the agenda of a regular month meeting.
  2. The Student Council may vote upon this amendment at its next regular monthly meeting, provided that due notice has been given to all members of the Student Council and the student body.
  3. If two-thirds of the qualifying membership of the Student Council shall so agree, the amendment will be submitted to the Student Activities Association Board of Directors for approval.
  4. If the Student Activities Board of Directors approves the amendments, petitions will be developed in consultation with the Office of Student Life. Petitions will be distributed to acquire ten percent of the student body enrolled at the time, containing the date of birth or a portion of the social security number, first name, last name, and signature. Petitions will be collected by the Office of Student Life and sent to the Office of Enrollment Management for written certification. Deadlines must be established to initiate petition distribution and collection.
  5. If ten percent of the student body enrolled at the time is certified on the petitions, then a proposition needs to be developed for the ballot in consultation with the Office of Student Life to reflect the written language established from the petitions certified by the Office of Enrollment Management.
  6. An amendment will be adopted if approved by fifty percent of the students voting in the referendum and will be sent to the President of the College for approval.
