NISG's website has just posted the full texts of the Constitutional changes on the ballot that year. Both ballot initiatives will require a majority vote of students to be adopted.
First is SSB 2010-50. This bill would require the NISG President to deliver a State of the Student Body every semester, rather than year.
The other is a little more controversial, SSB 2011-34. This bill would drastically shrink the size of and restructure Senate. There has been much written on the bill by the Northern Iowan and yours truly. Perhaps the sponsor list has me a bit biased, but I believe this to be one of the most important changes affecting NISG since I started coming to school here. I'd ask you all to join me in voting "yes" on it. I'd love to address any questions or concerns you have about the bill. SSB 2011-34 would do the following:
- Create a Senate seat for every college on campus, plus an additional seat for every 750 students enrolled in that college.
- Currently, the breakdown for seats would be CNS + CHFA: 6, CBA: 4, CSBS: 3, CoE: 4 (soon to be 5), Graduate: 3, and one seat for majors without a specific college.
Be sure to follow the Northern Iowans twitter coverage the Senate meeting tonight!
