Ballot Referendum: Amended ASOSU Constitution
Ballot Summary: This measure proposes adoption of a revised Constitution for the Associated Students of Oregon State University (ASOSU), replacing the current Constitution in its entirety.
- The proposed Constitution reaffirms the purpose of the ASOSU Student Government as the democratically representative body of Oregon State University (Corvallis) students and establishes updated governance structures, roles, and procedures. It defines the structure, authority, and responsibilities of the three branches of student government: the Senate (legislative branch), the Executive Branch (President and Vice President), and the Judicial Council (judicial branch).
- The measure clarifies membership and representation of the student body; establishes eligibility requirements and oath of office provisions for ASOSU officers; defines procedures for elections, appointments, confirmations, disciplinary proceedings, and succession; and outlines processes for constitutional amendments, referenda, initiatives, and recall.
- The proposed Constitution also specifies fiscal oversight authority of the Senate, including responsibilities related to mandatory incidental fees in accordance with Oregon law, and establishes procedures for maintaining continuity of statutes and offices during the transition.If approved by a majority of those voting in the election, the revised Constitution will take effect immediately upon ratification and will supersede all prior versions of the ASOSU Constitution. Existing officers and statutes will remain in effect except where they conflict with the new Constitution.
Do you approve the amended ASOSU Constitution to match the text in Appendix A?
