CAB discusses proposed bylaw changes

Submitted changes to the CAB’s constitution were thoroughly discussed among the executive board and the representatives at Tuesday’s meeting.  Constitutional changes discussed include the attendance policy and the presence of the student trustee at CAB meetings.

The current attendance policy states that attendance is mandatory for all meetings and if club representatives are not going to make it to a meeting, they need to notify the board by filling out a form.  Discussion ensued and it was suggested that the policy be changed to say that attendance is expected for all meetings and that attendance will be taken into consideration when evaluating funding requests.  A penalty for clubs whose representatives do not attend designated mandatory meetings was also proposed.

Changes to the number of members on the executive board were also proposed.  The student trustee may no longer be considered a voting member of the board, but will still be expected to attend CAB meetings.  The vice chair of records and relations is going to be split into two separate positions, bringing the total number of executive board members to five.

Clubs also need to be reminded that the money currently in their CAB account does not roll over into next semester.  If clubs have money left, they must either use it or lose it.

Events occurring this week include Late Night at The Pit’s Rap Battle 9 p.m., today.  The Big Event is taking place at noon, Saturday.
