Constitution

• Over the past few weeks SGA has been developing a new constitution led by Constitutional Committee Chair Ryan Birkman. After each Senate meeting we have discussed and deliberated on each section to refine the document to best suit the needs of the student association. On November 8th we held a special meeting of SGA to hash out the details and finalize an appropriate document to bring to the table by the meeting on the 13th. For comparison the two documents have been linked below.
• Old Constitution
• Proposed New Constitution
