Adjournment s jd CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS PROPOSED BYLAW REVISION: Repeal Reason #7 The CSUN Constitution specifically enumerates that the Executive Board shall nominate (V.F.6) and the Senate approve by a two-thirds majority (VI.C.13) Regents' Grants-in-Aid. There is no longer a need for the bylaw. #10 The bylaw calls for the establishment of a Student Evaluation of Faculty Standing Committee, which has not been a standing committee within CSUN for many years. #11 This bylaw is superseded by Bylaw #23, which estab-lished guidelines for all legislation within CSUN. - #13 The election dates established within the revision of the Constitution in 1984 specifically enumerate the dates of election. There is no longer a need for this bylaw. #14 It is recommended that this bylaw be repealed pend-ing Board of Regents' approval of the 1985 Constitu-tional Amendment which specifically establishes un-declared students as a college for the purpose of representation on the Senate. There will no longer be a need for this bylaw. #15 First, this bylaw has been accused of being unconsti tutional, in that it prohibits unrecognized organiza tions from receiving money. If one student organiza tion may receive money, then all must be eligible by law. Second, this bylaw has been waived on numerous occassions and only hinders the actual practices of the Senate. Finally, the 1985 Constitutional Amend-ment eliminates the recognition process, making this bylaw moot. #16 (Security) This bylaw, created by the Senate with the Guardian Angel group on campus, is no longer necessary, in that the Guardian Angels are no longer active at UNLV, making this bylaw unnecessary. #17 The Constitution specifically enumerates succession of officers. Moreover, Section II of the bylaw di-rectly conflicts with the Constitution (IV.G.l.c) UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS, NV 89154/(702) 739-3477 Repeal Reason #19 This bylaw is superseded by Bylaw #23, which estab-lished guidelines for all legislation within CSUN. Amend Amendment #12 Delete Section I. Amend Section II by eliminating "II. These 'Overall cumulative G.P.A." and inserting in its place, "All grade and student status minimum". Reason The article of the constitu-tion referred to in Section I no longer applies. The change in Section II is needed to re-flect the 1984 Constitutional Amendment. #22 Delete Sections I, II, III, & IV. Delete the number V, but retain the language. The deleted sections are un-necessary since the Constitu-tional revision in 1984. Ad-ditionally, Section II direct-ly conflicts with the Consti-tution . CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS MEM)RANDUM TO: CSUN Executive Board FROM: Joe Buczek, Judicial Council Member C / DATE: May 2, 1985 RE: Resignation I am submitting my resignation from the Judicial Council effective immediately. I find it necessary to resign my term, as I am transferring out-of-state. Thank you. JB;sjd UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS, NV 89154/(702) 739-3477 CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS DRAFT RESOLUTION REQUIRED CLASS SCHEDULES FOR SPECIAL ADMITS Whereas, the admissions committee is considering required classes and class loads for special admits, and Whereas, if a student is to be permitted to enroll in the University, that student is equally entitled to the academic freedom extended to all members of the University community, students and faculty, Whereas, the right of taking classes of interest and benefit to the individual student is integral to that academic freedom, and must be free from interference. Whereas, The academically less gifted student may well be expected to increase performance in classes of interest to them. Therefore be it resolved, that the Consolidated Students represented in the Senate stand firmly opposed to the purposed requirements for special admits. UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS, NV 89154/(702) 739-3477 CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS DRAFT RESOLUTION CHANGE OF ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS Whereas, UNLV is under considerable pressure to increase its enrollment, and, Whereas, the number of traditionally college age potutial students is decreasingly, and, Whereas, UNLV must increasily rely upon out of state enroll-ment, and, Whereas, the current enrollment requirement of 2.3 for out of state applicants is adequate and exceeds the requirement of 2.0 for instate students, and, Whereas, CSUN membership overwhelmingly rejected the proposed requirement change in the referendum question, and, Whereas, out of state enrollment enhances the reputation of the institution. Therefore be it resolved that The Consolidated Students represented in the Senate' standssfirmly opposed to the proposed .change of admission requirements for out of state students from 2.3 to 2.5. UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS/4505 MARYLAND PARKWAY/LAS VEGAS, NV 89154/(702) 739-3477 CONSOLIDATED STUDENTS DRAFT RESOLUTION PARKING PERMITS Whereas, much of the current parking is substandard, and, Whereas, the current sticker system is inexpensive and for the present needs of the campus, and, Whereas, the proposed hanging permit may provide a convenience to persons using more than one automobile, but should not be provided at the expense of those who don't wish to have them. Therefor be it resolved that The Consolidated Students represented in the Senate stand firmly opposed the unpaved parking areas should be exempt from fines. And therfore be it resolved that The Consolidated Students represented in the Senate and hanging permits should be optional and those who wish to have them be charged a fee.
