Student Senate has also put forth a referendum to amend its constitution to:

  • Allow for a part-time student to serve;
  • Require that the speaker of the Assembly be elected from among the senate’s voting members;
  • Dissolve the positions of Director of Operations and Director of Information with duties to be reassigned to the Director of Treasury and the Director of Communications, respectively.

Student Senate has voted in support of this referendum and now seeks the student body’s approval.
