AMENDMENT O F SENATE CONSTITUTION. MEDICAL CENTER

(5) Under Article II, Section 1, of the University of Illinois Statutes, amendments to a Senate Constitution must be approved by the Board of Trustees. At its meeting on Wednesday, February 6, 1974, the Senate at the Medical Center campus approved a change in Article III, Section 6, of the Constitution1 as follows: The elected heads o_ the student bodies^ and the President of the Execuf tive Student Council shall be ex officio members of the Senate. Such members to be seated shall be members of the student electorate [and]. Except for the President of the Executive Student Council, they shall be counted as a Senator apportioned to [that] their student voting unit. The effect of the amendment is to formally recognize the President of the Executive Student Council as an ex officio member of the Senate. The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur in the recommended change. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

On motion of Mr. Hahn, this recommendation and the proposed revision of Article HI, Section 6, of the Medical Center Senate Constitution were approved.
