Executive appointees in Student
Government will have to meet a
grade requirement in the future as a
result of a bill passed Wednesday
night by the Student Senate.
The senate also heard the first
reading of a bill recommending that
future student elections be modeled
after national elections with presi
dential and vice presidential candi
dates running together on the same
ticket.
He said he thinks such require
ments are intended to “weed out”
appointees.
But Sen. David Ortega told the
senate that he favors equality with
regard to grade requirements
among the branches of Student Gov
ernment.
The grade legislation provides
that each executive appointee have
at least a 2.25 overall grade-point ra
tio at the time of appointment and
that he maintain at least a 2.0 GPR
each semester.
T he bill was passed by voice vote
after 30 minutes of debate.
About five “nays” were heard.
In other business, the senate
heard the introduction of the bill
recommending a presidential ticket.
Under the current system, the ex
ecutive vice president is appointed
by the student body president.
T he bill, if passed, will be placed
on the ballot at the student elections
in the form of a constitutional
amendment.
Student senators and judicial
board members already are required
to keep an overall 2.25 GPR.
In the past, however, no provi
sions regarding the grades of exec
utive appointees existed.
The bill met with some opposition
when brought to the senate floor.
If approved by the students, it
would go into ef fect for next spring’s
elections.
Miles Bradshaw, senate speaker
pro tempore, said, “Personally, I’m
against any kind of grade require
ments.”
Sen. Jim Atkins, one of three co
sponsors of the bill, said: “By having
the (executive) vice president of Stu
dent Government be elected with
the president it would lead to more
credibility for the office and the vice
president will now have the support
of the student body, because they
got to vote for him.”
