2/26/2025 General Assembly Notes

PUBLIC COMMENT

 

Why was recall removed from the proposed constitution?

 

Elliott: In the old constitution there was recall in which students can vote to remove people from office. It was removed because there are no specifications on how to undergo the process.

 

Why was there no communication about this change?

 

Eisa: We communicated with the Orient and put out the old and new constitution to the student body

 

Why are you establishing a precedent of violating the constitution?

 

Eisa: The integrity of the document is no longer. The constitution has not been used in the way in which it was intended.

 

Vincent: The old constitution would not allow us to pursue many of our current initiatives

 

Jonathan: Historical lack of continuity between old and new BSG. Working to change that

Lucia/Oscar: Dining updates: seriously considering sleeves for cups. No pastry bags will be offered because of the to go policy. Wanted us to communicate a general awareness of behavior at Supers. 

 

Elliott: Only going to have buses on Friday due to costs. Will transport about 70 students

 

Eisa: Going to postpone the constitution vote. Will take it next week

 

Max: We should vote tonight. Motion to end debate and motion to cloture
