Fourteen proposed revisions to the Student Government constitution will be submitted to the Student Senate tonight.

The revisions would change many key parts of the constitution, including eliminating an executive position, adding a privacy clause to the student’s bill of rights, detailing rights students have with University Housing and adjusting the requirements to run for a Student Government position.

One revision would eliminate the office of student vice president for financial affairs and replace it with the office of vice president for student affairs. In addition to the name change, the office of vice president for business affairs would carry additional powers and responsibilities that would make the position similiar to the duties of the administration’s office of the same name, said Student Body President Katie Cox.

Another revision would assert students’ right to privacy and states that students have a right to be present when a university official enters their living space, as well as the right to be “intimately involved” with decisions by University Housing that affects them.

Two other revisions would raise the required grade point average needed to run for an executive position from 2.0 to 2.25 and allow part-time students to run for senate.

The senate will vote on each proposed revision separately, said Senate Speaker Adam Weyhaupt. The revisions that pass the senate will be voted on by the student body during Student Government elections on April 17-18.

If passed by the students, many of the revisions, such as the privacy clause, would take effect immediately. However, other revisions, such as changing the office of vice president for financial affairs, if passed, would not take effect until next year to avoid confusion, Weyhaupt said.

“We can’t hold people to a standard they don’t know about,” he said.

In other business, senate members also will vote on a variety of legialation, from a bylaw change limiting student executives’ tuition waiver to a bill allocating $200 to the new rider/roommate board.

Cox also will give her State of the University address at the senate meeting, which will be held at 7 p.m. in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
