Remarks IMPLEMENTED
Whereas Although Student Congress usually has enough people running for offices at election time; and
Whereas The people who ran and lost may want the position and dedicate themselves more than those that are elected; and
Whereas This is evidenced by the many students who drop out, causing un-due delays in executive committee by forcing them to have to advertise, interview, select, etc.
Be It Further Resolved That Student Congress implement a policy whereby if an office becomes vacant during a semester, the person with the highest number of votes during the previous semester's elections be awarded the office without an interview or any furhter application procedures; and
Be It Further Resolved That If there are two (2) people in one college, then the top two, etc; and
Be It Further Resolved That If there are no more people who ran, the procedure would be as it is now for that office; and
Be It Further Resolved That This will be added to the Spring 1993 Election Code.
