The Student Government Association
defeated a 3-year-old resolution made to amend the student
constitution after 11 rounds of debate Nov. 18.
The resolution, co-authored by off-campus senators Justin
W. Moore and H. Dustin Bayard, calls for amending Article
IX of the SGA Constitution to allow non-senators to need
100 signatures to present legislation to SGA, and 500 signatures
to propose a constitutional change.
