Constitution

Article IX. Ex Officio Membership

Section 1. Membership

1. Any registered student organization or person designated by the Vice President of Student Affairs as a special representative may petition the assembly for ex officio status if said organization’s/group’s constitution and purpose reflect the desire to represent a specific group or groups of students not adequately represented on Student Government Association.
   1. Priority for ex officio status will be afforded to those organizations or special representatives designated by Affirmative Action law which covers qualified minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and veterans.
   2. Consideration will be given to other populations that represent specific student groups but are not reflected in the Affirmative Action guidelines. However, these groups in petitioning must show a clearly defined student need for additional representation.
