An act establishing the standing committees of the ASEWU Council.
Be it enacted by the ASEWU Council that:

SECTION 1: Establishment

There are hereby established three (3) standing committees of the ASEWU Council known as the “Finance Committee,” "Review and Proposal," and the "Student Union Board of Control."

SECTION 2: Selection

Standing committees will be chosen on or by the second scheduled Council meeting of each academic quarter. This date will correspond with the selection of the ASEWU Speaker Pro Tem as per ASEWU Bylaw 107, Section 12. After selection of the ASEWU Speaker Pro Tem, ASEWU Representatives select their standing committees with senior representatives, based on the number of quarters of Council experience, selecting first. The representative(s) with the least amount of quarters on Council shall select last. When two or more representatives have been on council the same number of quarters, the representatives of that "seniority group" will draw numbers to determine the order in which they will chose their standing committee. In the case of the absence of a Council Representative, the individual will be designated to the remaining open standing committee position by the ASEWU Executive Vice President regardless of seniority.

SECTION 3: Responsibilities

The established committees shall:

  1. Consider all matters referred to them by the ASEWU Council;
  2. Not delay presentation to the ASEWU Council of any legislation, reports, or other items referred to it for more than two (2) regularly scheduled meetings of the ASEWU Council without permission of the sponsor; and
  3. Be governed by the latest edition of Robert's Rules of Order, Newly Revised.
SECTION 4: Finance Committee

The duties and responsibilities of Finance Committee shall be as per current Bylaw 502.

SECTION 5: Review and Proposal

The duties and responsibilities of the Review and Proposal Committee shall be as per current Bylaw 503.

SECTION 6: Student Union Board of Control

The duties and responsibilities of the Student Union Board of Control shall be as per current Bylaw 501.

SECTION 7: Attendance

Attendance of ASEWU standing committees.

  1. ASEWU Representatives are required to hold voting membership on one (1) standing committee.
  2. Said standing committees are required to hold regularly scheduled meetings during fall, winter, and spring quarters, of which times and dates shall be agreed upon by the consensus of the committee membership so that only minimal conflict may arise with attendance.
  3. Representatives who miss two (2) consecutive committee meetings or three (3) meetings during a quarter, may lose membership on that committee. The committee member's seat shall be declared vacant by the chairperson of the committee or if the chairperson is the delinquent party, the ASEWU Council shall declare the seat vacant.
SECTION 8: Meetings

The above standing committees cannot take official action without quorum.

SECTION 9: Rescinded

Bylaw 03-04/108 is hereby rescinded.
