Senator Allotment Amendment
Whereas, the University of Houston Student Government Association actively strives to
maintain fair representation of the student body; and
Whereas, in the previous Student Government Association Constitution flaws where found due
to vague wording,
THEREFORE BE IN ENACTED by the 51st Administration of the Student Government
Association of the University of Houston:
That the University of Houston Student Government Association proposes a ballot measure to be
presented to the Student Body that seeks to amend the following Section of the Student
Government Association Constitution to:
Article 4, Section 2, Clause 2:
For each four (4) percent and/or part thereof that a college or school has of the university’s total
enrollment, that school or college shall be entitled to one (1) representative. In the case that one
college does not meet the four (4) percent requirement, they may still elect one (1) senator as
their representative.
BE IT FINALLY ENACTED that the 51st Administration of the University of Houston Student
Government Association will hold itself accountable and strive to keep the Senate a fair
representation of the student body.
