Re:
Appointment of NDSA Delegates
2
Whereas, the North Dakota Student Association (NDSA) is the state-wide student association dedicated
to the betterment of students by dealing with student issues, and
4
Whereas, the students of the University of North Dakota are responsible for representing themselves at
all NDSA meetings, and
Whereas, the University of North Dakota receives up to 18 voting delegates at NDSA meetings, and
6
Whereas, a lack of obligatory attendance has resulted in few students attending past meetings, and
8
Whereas, during legislative sessions student input will be sought after and valuable for lobbying
initiatives, and
10
Whereas, having a stable delegation would be beneficial to ensuring goals and initiatives are being
continuously followed up on and pursued, and
12
Therefore, be it resolved that annually-serving voting delegates be selected to attend each of the NDSA
meetings up to the number of votes the University of North Dakota receives at NDSA for the given year,
and
14
Therefore, be it further resolved that students interested in these voting delegate positions submit their
name to Student Government and then be approved by Student Senate, and
16
Therefore, be it further resolved that any student holding an officer position within NDSA is exempt from
Student Senate approval, and
18
Therefore, be it further resolved that any student wishing to attend NDSA can still attend and if all voting
delegate slots are filled, the student can still attend as a non-voting delegate per NDSA guidelines, and
20
Therefore, be it further resolved that it is the voting delegate’s responsibility to find a proxy, when possible,
to attend any meeting the delegate is not able to attend, and

24
Therefore, be it further resolved that any voting delegate missing multiple regularly-scheduled NDSA
meetings in a semester will be up for impeachment from the voting delegate position by the UND Student
Senate, and
26
Therefore, be it further resolved that the priority of voting delegate positions shall be as follows: 1) NDSA
officers; 2) Student government members; 3) any other student wishing to attend, and
22
Therefore, be it further resolved that this resolution shall take effect Spring 2015 semester, and
28
Therefore, be it furthest resolved that appointments should be sought prior to the first NDSA meeting of
each academic year.
