UTB/TSC Staff Senate

Staff Senate Constitutional
Referendum Passes!

Posted: May 5, 2008

  • The Staff Senate conducted a Constitutional Amendment Referendum during five (5) working days beginning on April 28, 2008 at 8:00 a.m. and ending on May 2, 2008 at 5:00 p.m.;
     

  • 101 qualifying and eligible staff members casted their individual vote during that period;
     

  • 100 members voted to approve the proposed Staff Senate constitutional amendment and one member voted to reject these changes; this represents a simple majority of 99%, constituting the approval of the proposed Staff Senate Constitutional Amendment by the UTB/TSC Staff.

Next Steps:

  • The Staff Senate Chair will request that the proposed Staff Senate Constitutional Amendment language be reviewed by the Provost Council for their recommendation, for approval by the President of UTB/TSC.
     

  • If approved, the UTB/TSC Staff Senate Constitutional Amendment will then seek approval of the UT System as appropriate.
     

  • Once approval of the UT System has been granted, the Staff Senate Constitution language will be changed in the institutional HOOP.
