The Residence Hall Association Thursday voted not to extend the term of the National Communication Coordination/Illinois Communication Coordination representative and tabled two other constitutional amendments.

A proposal was brought up to extend the length of time the NCCICC serves as the NCCICC-elect. The current training period is one semester in the elect position and two semesters in the actual position. The proposal would have extended it to two semesters in the elect position and two semesters in the position.

Members voted against the proposal because they were concerned about getting someone to commit two years to the position.

The tabled amendments deal with how nominations are made for executive board positions and the required number of attended meetings to be eligible for a position.

Rather than having fellow members nominate one another for executive board positions, the amendment would make it a bidding process. The candidate would write a bid on why they want the position, which would include a resume.

Members were concerned about getting enough people to run for positions under the amendment.

The other amendment would lower the required number of meetings to be eligible for an executive board position. The current requirement is to attend seven meetings as a voting member.

The proposal would lower that number to four and drop the voting member requirement.

Kevin Leverence, RHA president, said he proposed the change because there are several prospective executives that could benefit from the change.

The proposal was tabled, but members also showed concern over this amendment. They said the seven meeting requirement was a majority of meetings and would also give the prospective candidates more experience.
