COMMENT:

At the February 24, 2000 Senate/Assembly meeting, the Twin Cities Campus Assembly approved an amendment to the Assembly bylaws that would abolish the Assembly Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics (ACIA) and form the Advisory Committee on Athletics and Faculty Academic Oversight Committee for Intercollegiate Athletics. At that time, an amendment to the Assembly rules should have been included to indicate the changes to ex officio representation. They are being presented now for action.

FRED MORRISON, Chair

DISCUSSION:

With further discussion, a vote was taken and Consent Agenda B was approved.

APPROVED

Agenda Items 16. through 17. are considered to be non-controversial or "housekeeping" in nature and are offered as a "Consent Agenda" to be taken up as a single item with one vote. Any item will be taken up separately at the request of a senator.

COMMENT:

As an amendment to the Assembly Constitution, this motion requires a 2/3 majority of all voting members (118) at one meeting for approval, or a majority (89) of all members at two successive meetings. This is the third meeting at which this motion is being presented. It did not receive a majority of all members at the February 24, 2000 meeting. It did receive a majority of all members (107) at the April 20, 2000 meeting. Therefore, it requires a majority of all members (89) at this meeting for approval.

MOTION:

To amend the Twin Cities Campus Assembly Constitution, Article III, Section 1, as follows (language to be deleted is struck-out; language to be added is underlined).

Twin Cities Campus Assembly Constitution - Article II. Twin Cities Campus Assembly

1. Membership

The Assembly shall be composed of the following voting members: (a) the president of the University; (b) the Twin Cities campus members of the Senate Consultative Committee, who shall serve as ex officio voting members; and (c) the elected faculty, academic professional, and student representatives of the various institutes, colleges, and schools of collegiate rank, and the Graduate School. Only elected faculty/academic professional representatives or properly designated faculty/academic professional alternates shall serve as the Faculty Assembly; the elected student representatives shall serve on the Minnesota Student Association Forum, or the Graduate and Professional Student Assembly, as designated by the Student constituency in the electing college. Each member of the Assembly shall represent the Twin Cities campus as a whole. The Twin Cities campus deans, vice presidents, provosts, the University Librarian, and the General Counsel shall serve as ex officio nonvoting members. The student body presidents shall, if not otherwise elected, serve as an ex officio nonvoting members.

COMMENT:

In the course of reviewing a bylaw change for the Twin Cities Campus Assembly, it was discovered that the Twin Cities Campus Assembly constitution states that there is only one student body president that is an ex-officio member of the Assembly when, in fact, there is currently more than one. The Student Senate Consultative Committee recommends that the requirement be changed.

STUDENT SENATE CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE
