The passing of three new amendments at this weeks ASI Senate meeting brought an end to the 2007-2008 business which had spilled over into this academic year.
The previously debated Clear Majority Act was approved this week by the AS Judiciary, allowing the senate to cast a final vote on the amendment. Using the old Clear Majority Act one last time to vote this amendment into action, the senate unanimously voted in favor of the change.
The other two amendments overlapping from last years academic year were the Amendment to Senate and the Amendment to Subsidiary Board. Senators explained that passing both of these amendments would help prevent conflicts of interest from arising between ASI, the USU Board of Trustees and the senate.
Senate again chose to postpone discussion on the Textbook Rental Program, leaving student waiting at least one more week before a decision is reached.
