The Board of Governance Constitution may see some changes this semester in order to improve student government, chief of staff Sarita Fritzler said at Tuesday's meeting.
In the group's first meeting of the semester, revising the document was the primary focus.
In order to refresh the board, student body president Kim Hodges said this semester members would "take [the constitution] apart piece by piece." The constitution includes the jobs and job descriptions of the board. The board will do evaluations and review, correct and update the document.
Once members have made the necessary corrections, the document will be presented to the Constitutional Review Committee for approval. BOG must then consent to the changes made by the review committee.
These changes are the board's attempt to improve the student government by trying to ensure that the executives and commissioners are getting their jobs done, Fritzler said.
