Charter Review and Advisement Committee

The Charter Review and Advisement Committee was an ad-hoc committee established by Student Association President Jarrod Eaton during the 2015-16 academic year to examine the association's governing documents for discrepancies.

The committee led to an amendment within the Student Association By-Laws that "advised" the association to establish a Charter Convention in February, 2016.

During a special meeting, the association voted to place six charter amendments on the ballot. All six amendments passed.

The six amendments included:
 * Amending the charter's preamble to include non-discrimination language regarding gender identity and socio-economic status.
 * Changing the number of minimum representatives to .1 percent of the student body.
 * Changing the process for how the presiding officer is chosen for association meetings in the absence of the speaker.
 * Explicitly stating the order of precedence of the charter, bylaws, parliamentarian opinions and Robert's Rules of Order.
 * Recommending that the governing documents be reviewed every four years.
 * Allowing the association president to address the student body four times per the academic year.
