Passed October 25, 2002

Section 1. The purpose of this act is to amend the CGS Bylaws regarding delegate selection in order to increase program representation on the Council.

Section 2. The Council's Bylaws shall be amended as follows:

Article I Membership

Section I.4: Delegate Selection - The selection of graduate students to fill positions on CGS as delegates from a particular unit of representation can only occur in the following ways:

I.4.A. Direct election: A vote open to the entire regular graduate student enrollment of a particular unit of representation.

I.4.B. Election by gradute student organization: In the event that direct election is deemed infeasible, election by a duly constiuted graduate student organization that reflects the interests of graduate students in that unit or representation may serve as a replacement for (A).

I.4.C. Appointment: In the event that the above methods are deemed inappropriate, appointment by the Graduate Studies Chairperson (or designated alternate) shall constitute proper practice for filling a CGS position, as long as the student provides a petition of support for their delegacy signed by either fifty percent or twenty-five (whichever is less) of the gradute students in the unit of representation.

I.4.D. Interim Selection: In the event that a delegate is not identified to the Council by any of the previous methods by the fifteenth day of the autumn quarter, the graduate student representative to the program's graduate studies committee will serve as delegate pro-tem until such time as a permanent delegate is selected for their unit of representation.

Section 3. This act will take effect immediately upon approval at a regular meeting of the Council of Graduate Students.
