Independent Council: Difference between revisions

Line 35:

The original 1970 Union Constitution defined the Independent Council as a branch of the Union's student government subsidiary to the [[Undergraduate Council]] (UC). It was responsible for defining its own constitution, although this constitution needed to be approved by the UC, which could review any action taken by it. It shared this subordinate status with the Interfraternity Council and the four undergraduate [[Class Councils]]. Some opposed the 1970 Constitution on the grounds that the IC's autonomy was being removed by its folding underneath UC.

Under the 1987 Union Constitution, the Independent Council retained its subordinate status although it was shifted to now be under the [[Student Senate]]; the IFC and the newly-formed Panhellenic Council were placed under the Senate.

Under the 1987 Union Constitution, the Independent Council retained its subordinate status although it was shifted to now be under the [[Student Senate]]; the IFC and the newly-formed Panhellenic Council were also placed under the Senate during this time. ''(check to see if shift happened in 1987 or 1974)''

In 2013, an additional Independent Council Senator was added, to correspond to addition of a Senator from the Panhellenic Council (in the original 1970 Constitution, only the IFC Senator existed). Records indicate that the RPC Senator position was present in the 1987 Constitution, and it is not clear why the additional Independent Council Senator was added in 2013 in particular.
