Senate-Executive Board Liaison: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

The predecessor to the Senate-Executive Board Liaison was established in the 1969 Constitution, as a "member from the [[Student Council]]" was mandated to be a member of the newly-formed [[Executive Board]]. Prior to the 1969 Constitution, the [[Grand Marshal]] had typically been a member of the [[Executive Committee]] ''ex-officio'', even when also presiding over the Student Council. In the 1970 Constitution, the Senate was the combination of the elected officials of the Graduate and Undergraduate Councils, so there was no direct Senate representation, only representatives of the two councils. The 1974 amendments to the Constitution ended this state of affairs but did not grant a Senate representative on the Executive Board, nor did the 1987 Constitution.

It is not clear when the office of Liaison came into existence. The earliest known copy of the Constitution mentioning it is the 2013 Constitution (although it would take until 2018 for it to be formally titled the Senate-Executive Board Liaison in the Constitution), but documents from the late 1990s and the early 2000s mention the position frequently.

In the 39th Senate (2008-2009), the individual holding the office also served as a voting Senator, implying that the office of Liaison may have been non-voting until its formal establishment.
