The Judicial Council
Of the Student Government Association
Of Western Kentucky University
Opinion 2013SP – 008
In re Glasgow Student Body Association President
April 26, 2013
Chief Justice Seth Church delivered the opinion of the Council. Associate Justices Justin McDole,
Jackie Stewart, Julia Payne and Kara Raley join.
A request was submitted to the Judicial Council to determine if the Glasgow Student
Body Association (GSB) President must be sworn in once as GSB President and
once as a SGA Senator. It is the opinion of the Council that since the Constitution
states serving as a Senator will be one of the duties of the GSB President, once they
are sworn in as President, they are effectively sworn in for both offices. The
President of the GSB may be sworn in by either a Justice of the WKU SGA Judicial
Council or the GSB Judicial Council and the oath will be considered valid for the
position of President, and subsequently Senator.
It is so ordered.
Chief Justice Seth Church
