Constitution of the Future Elementary Teachers Math/Science Club

In the absence of the chair for the Student Organizations subcommittee, Susan Maddux stated that the subcommittee did not meet. However, a few editorial changes were made.

Susan Gore, representative for the Future Elementary Teachers Math/Science Club gave a short presentation on the mission and purpose of the club. Discussion included a question on whether or not this group intended to charge any dues at all so that it could function. Susan Gore reported that efforts were already underway to seek donations and for some fundraising. It was hoped that no dues would be charged. However, if needed the membership would make that decision and change the constitution as necessary.

John Pigg MOVED approval of the constitution and the motion was SECONDED.

The constitution will be forwarded to the Administrative Council for its next meeting on February 22, 2006.

Report from Policy Subcommittee

John Pigg, chair for this subcommittee, reported the following changes to the Procedures of the Student Affairs Committee:

1. II. Purpose, Section B. Remove the word "continually"

VII. Subcommittees, A2. Since we do not have a Budget Subcommittee and do not foresee ever having one, this paragraph was removed
VII. Subcommittees, C: First sentence rewritten so that any member can be chair of a subcommittee, not necessarily a student.

Leigh Southward MOVED to accept the changes, and the motion was SECONDED. There was no discussion. The new Procedures were approved.
