APPENDIX
least 2.5 as undergraduate students and/or grade-point averages of
at least 3.0 as graduate students.
4) A Club must have a faculty adviser.
B. The Judicial Board shall study and verify all material submitted to
it by Clubs. It may require the executive officers or the faculty
adviser of any Club to appear before it for the purpose of gathering
additional information. Following the submission of the required
materials, the Judicial Board shall determine whether a given Club is
to be certified, and so inform the president of the Student Council.
The Judicial Board may invoke this procedure with respect to
continuing Clubs which have not undergone review for more than
one year.
C. Any Club denied certification shall be provided in writing with the
reasons for such action by the Judicial Board. It may resubmit an
application for certification at any time thereafter.
D. If the Club has been denied certification, whether such denial is
provided in writing or otherwise, it may lodge an appeal with the
president of the Student Council. If the president determines that the
appeal holds merit, he or she shall place it before the Student Council
and shall request the executive officers of the Club in question and
representatives of the Judicial Board to appear before the Student
Council at its next meeting to give testimony in the case, provided the
agenda has not already been established. If the agenda has already
been established, the case shall be heard at the subsequent meeting.
The Student Council may, on appeal, reverse a certification decision
of the Judicial Board, provided that two-thirds of the qualified
attending membership of the Student Council so agree.
E. All Clubs will be expected to hold at least three regular meetings
per semester. At least one week’s notice shall be provided for all
Club meetings, and attendance shall be open to all interested
members of the student body. It shall be the responsibility of the
executive officers of each Club to keep minutes of each meeting,
indicating the members of the Club in attendance and all business
transacted. These minutes, along with a signed statement from the
Club’s faculty adviser attesting to their accuracy, shall be transmitted
to the chief justice of the Judicial Board no later then one week
following each meeting. Clubs shall also promptly submit to the
Judicial Board all amendments to their constitutions.
F. At any time during the course of the academic year, any ten
members of the Student Council or twenty-five concerned students
may request that the Judicial Board reexamine the standing of any
Club. Any Club found failing to conform to the requirements set
forth in this Article may, after an open hearing, have its certification
revoked. Clubs losing their certification may neither receive any
further appropriations from the Student Council, nor draw upon any
funds already appropriated. A Club, however, may appeal the loss of
certification in the same manner as it might appeal an initial denial of
certification. No Club may have its certification reexamined more
than once during an academic year.
ARTICLE VII: INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARTER
A. Upon petition of one hundred students or ten members of the
Student Council, or upon a motion by any executive officer of the
Student Council, any question pertaining to the interpretation of any
provision of this Charter may be submitted to the Judicial Board for
interpretation.
B. In the event of such a submission, the Judicial Board must decide
the question at its next meeting, provided that the Judicial Board shall
also be free to decline to decide on the case. If the Judicial Board
should accept the appeal, its chief justice may stay the disputed action
of any Student Council executive officer or agent, or of the qualifying
members of the Student Council, until the case shall have been
decided.
ARTICLE VIII: AMENDMENTS
A. Any proposed amendment to this Charter must be introduced at a
regular monthly meeting of the Student Council by a member of the
Student Council or upon petition by one hundred members of the
student body.
B. 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.
