A BILL
BILL SUMMARY
To establish a required familiarization process for newly elected members of
Representative & Local School Councils.
BILL HISTORY
Up until now, newly efected members to the Executive Council have been
introduced to the complicated student government structure of UCSU in a
negligent and time consuming manner. To an inexperienced initiate half a
session may go by before he/she is educated enough to work productively and
knowledgeabley in the Union. To truly be worthy of the title "autonomous"
we must first take the responsibility to educate our own, realizing Education
is our Best Defense.
