Constitution

Chair of Programming Shall oversee the Executive Team of SGA’s Class Programming Councils – which are tasked with providing regular programming and class-specific events. These councils will not be members of the President’s Cabinet. Class Programming Council members shall be elected by a class-wide election. Elections for the Class Programming Councils shall be administered by the CSE, with roles given to those who receive the greatest plurality of votes. Once the Class Programming Council members are elected, councils shall internally appoint a Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. One’s class is determined using the institutional “student classification” definition, not one’s graduation year. For instance, a student who entered the university in 2019, but is graduating in 2022, would still be considered a junior for the purpose of SGA 2021-2022 elections. Additional members of each Class Programming Council can be appointed by the original three-person Class Programming Council that was elected by class-wide election, subject to confirmation by a majority of the Senate.
