Check one:

  • Semantic Change: something about the meaning of the text is different
  • Non-semantic Change: Spelling, grammar, or formatting changes.

Summary of change(s):
Adds clauses to 5.A.3.A, 5.A.3.B, and 5.A.7.B requiring good academic and conduct standing.

  • The Student Organization Handbook states that all officers must be in good academic standing and cannot be on disciplinary probation or higher.
  • This amendment makes this explicitly required in order to be on E-Board, and an officer's term will be abbreviated if they no longer meet the requirements.
  • A candidate can run for E-Board while not meeting these requirements, but must meet them while in office.

We may be wrong about where these go. Candidates might be in bad academic standing, but they should be able to run as long as they aren't in bad academic standing at the time that they're selected

constitution.tex Outdated
\asubsubsection{Qualifications for All Executive Board Members}
\begin{enumerate}
\item Candidates must be Active Members during the term of office.
\item Candidates must be in good academic standing with both RIT and their academic department and may not be on a conduct sanction of disciplinary probation or higher during the term of office.

But actually, now I have questions.

Must candidates meet these requirements? Or is it instead that they must meet these requirements upon selection

We have "during the term of office", should it be "during the term of office that they are running for?" (alternatively "for which they are running")

Candidates don't have to meet the requirements while running, but by the time they actually assume office they should meet the requirements. I agree that it might be better somewhere else, maybe in 5.A.4 (selections) or 5.A.7.B (term). I don't know why I didn't realize that sooner oops
