  8. Secretary’s Report
    Mandatory unilateral amendments – while we have successfully challenged nearly every “new additional provision” so far, Student Life and Leadership has required the insertion of Article III, Section 9, new Subsection 1. We have added mitigating language to the section to minimize the effect it will have on the intents passed by the membership while granting no additional powers to the Steering Committee or imposing new restrictions on the members, but it is still a change that should be reported.

Amy moves to adjourn. Olive seconds. Jack objects. Amy: aye. Olive: aye. Jack: aye. Canin (a): aye. 3+1 ayes, 0 nays, 0 abstentions, meeting is adjourned at 10:56 A.M.
