The Interviewing Committee Update Act is an ASUCD Constitutional Amendment, to be voted on in the Winter 2009 ASUCD Election. It's widely considered non-controversial, as it removes the position of ASUCD Student Government Advisor from the Constitution. That job is intentionally vacant due to lack of funding. Additional cuts of nearly $40,000 will be needed this year in ASUCD, so it is unlikely that anyone is seriously considering bringing the $28,000 adviser position back at this time.
Text of the measure
Please vote for one of the following options:
—— Yes, I approve of the Interviewing Committee Update Act
—— No, I do not approve of the Interviewing Committee Update Act
BACKGROUND

-
The ASUCD Court shall decide upon then, questions that the Court feels are relevant in determining the qualifications of the applicants. These questions shall not be binding to the committee to ask these questions or limit itself to them.
-
Appointments to the ASUCD Court must be approved by a majority vote of the entire Senate.

All ASUCD Court Justices shall serve for the remainder of their membership in ASUCD, so long as it does not exceed four years.
