WHEREAS, Article V, Section 510. C. of the Kansas State University Student Governing Association Constitution requires a referendum vote for the reallocation of student fees for the construction of a building or facility; and

Still, the $10.27 per semester student fee is scheduled to continue until the year 2015, regardless of the outcome of a referendum.

This referendum would reallocate the $10.27 per semester student fee after the complete payment of the bonds for the Hale Library addition, and place those monies toward the construction of a Center for Student Activities to be built onto the east side of the Kansas State Student Union.”

Are you in favor of extending the current $10.27 per semester Student Referendum Bond for a maximum of 20 years (no increase in student fees) for use in the construction of a Center for Student Activities?

Fundraising efforts shall continue until the full $2 million goal is achieved.

SECTION 3. This student referendum shall be held on April 26, 2005. The electronic polling shall be in accordance with KSU SGA election regulations.

SECTION 4. In accordance with the KSU SGA Constitution, an affirmative vote outcome of 60% or more shall be required for the referendum to be adopted. If the necessary affirmative outcome is not met, this referendum shall be considered rejected.

This bill is a reflection of the committee’s recommended changes. Numerous changes to improve grammar, fluency, clarity, and consistency appear throughout. Explanations of substantive changes are as follows:

1.) Article VI, Section 601.D.4. Makes clear that the SGA judicial program has dispositional authority over KSU Parking Services parking citations, as well as citations given by the KSU Police Dept. (change recommended by Parking Services.) 2.) Article VI, Section 601.E.2. Takes information from the section directly above and makes a new section in order to separate the two for clarity. 3.) Article VI, Section 602.B.2. Recognizes the renaming of the “Black Panhellenic Council” to the new “National Pan-Hellenic Council”. 4.) Article VI, Section 602.E. Requires the Student Body President to consult with the Attorney General in appointing members to the Student Review Board. This requirement is consistent with that in Section 602.C., which requires that consultation in appointments made to Student Tribunal.

B-153 BILL 04/05/108 BY-LAWS AMENDMENTS TO THE JUDICIAL CODE

BY: Damian Lair and Anthony Carter

SUMMARY: Section 13 of the By-Laws require that the Judicial Code be reviewed each academic year ending in a five or zero. The Judicial Code Revision Committee was assembled and began meeting in October 2004. This bill is a reflection of that committee’s recommended changes. Numerous changes to improve grammar, fluency, clarity, and consistency appear throughout. Explanations of substantive changes are as follows:

1.) Article VI, Section 1.B. Adds “appellant” to the list of definitions, due to the re-naming of parties involved in the appeals process. The old terminology (complainant and respondent) was unclear and confusing. What was assumedly intended was for the complainant to be same person who served as the complainant in the primary hearing, and likewise for the respondent. For clarification in appeal hearings, the person appealing shall be referred to as the “appellant”, and the person responding to the appeal shall be the “respondent”. 2.) Article VI, Section 1.E. Throughout the Judicial Code, all Housing and Dining Services policies have been condensed into one term, “Housing Policy”, which is also reflected in the addition of the definition, “Housing Policy” (#4) 3.) Article VI, Section 1.G. The Dean of Student Life is responsible for the administration of the entire campus judicial program, not the Judicial Code alone. 4.) Article VI, Section 1.K. Addition of a definition for “Housing Policy” (see change #2). 5.) Article VI, Section 2.B. Specifies that all sexual, racial, and ethnic harassment complaints should be submitted to the Office of Student Life, rather than the Dean of Student Life Office. 6.) Article VI, Section 5.A.2. Officially makes it a duty of the Attorney General to appoint judicial board members, in consultation with the Student Body President, when no other appointment process is provided, pursuant to SGA Constitution Section 601.E.1. 7.) Article VI, Section 5.C.3. Officially makes it a duty of Student Tribunal to hear appeals of decisions made by the SGA Elections Commissioner, pursuant to the recently revised Elections Regulation Code. 8.) Article VI, Section 5.C.7. Officially makes it a duty of the Student Tribunal to hear appeals of parking privilege revocations issued by Parking Services, pursuant to the

B-154 rules of Parking Services which designates such as the process for appeal. 9.) Article VI, Section 5.E.2. Officially makes it a duty of the Student Review Board to hear all noncompliance complaints, where the respondent has not fulfilled their sanctions assigned by a previous judicial board. 10.) Article VI, Section 5.H.2. Requires the Executive Council to meet only once, as opposed to three times, each semester. 11.) Article VI, Section 5.H.3. Establishes the membership of the Executive Council. 12.) Article VI, Section 6.B.2. Requires persons wishing to file a complaint to file within the standard required amount of time, regardless any involvement in a mediation process. This change was made because an initial complaint is required to enter into the mediation process described in the Judicial Code, therefore eliminating any need for a time extension. 13.) Article VI, Section 6.D.1.b.i. Designates that Student Review Board, not Judicial Council, will hear any cases where a conflict of interest allegedly occurred within an education conference. This change was made due to the fact that the duties of Judicial Council, as established by this Code, do not include adjudicating cases. Judicial Council exists to perform educational, promotional, and administrative functions. 14.) Article VI, Section 6.D.3.b. Clarifies the language such that the scheduling of judicial hearings is done within 10 class days--not that the actual hearing will be scheduled for a date within 10 class days (a source of much confusion for complainants and respondents). Also establishes no specific time frame within which complaints must absolutely be heard. It only specifies that they shall be heard in the most expedient manner possible, and that the Dean of Student Life or designee (the Judicial Advisor) is the “check” on that scheduling authority of the Attorney General. 15.) Article VI, Section 7.A.2. This change is in regard to open and closed sessions, taking into account the KS Open Meetings Act. (Change recommended by the University Attorney’s Office.) 16.) Article VI, Section 7.A.12.iii. Borrows language from elsewhere in the Judicial Code, notifying respondents of their right to avoid self-incrimination, and that a refusal to testify will not serve as any evidence of guilt. 17.) Article VI, Section 7.A.12.ix. Makes clear that the Chair votes only in the event of a tie. 18.) Article VI, Section 9.B.4. Complainants who wish to appeal need an additional ground for appeal which would allow them to question a sanction in a judicial proceeding. The current language is too limiting as to grounds. (Change recommended

B-155 by the University Attorney’s Office.) 19.) Article VI, Section 9.G. Changes made similar to those in #14, allowing filing deadlines for the appeals process to parallel those of the primary hearing process. 20.) Article VI, Section 9.I.5. Officially allows the primary hearing board to submit information (more detailed rationale for their decision) in an appeal case. This has been a general practice, but was not explicitly permissible under the current Code. 21.) Article VI, Section 9.J. For appeal cases where a quorum is not available, such case can be postponed up to 10 days—an increase from the current three-day postponement extension. 22.) Article VI, Section 9.M. Changes made similar to those in #15, reflecting open meetings requirements for the appeals process to be consistent with the primary hearing process. 23.) Article VI, Section 9.N.4. Extends the appeal hearing postponement from seven days to ten days, in cases where additional testimony is needed. The length of time was chosen in order to be consistent with the postponement deadline extended in #21. 24.) Article VI, Section 9.N.4.c. Borrows language regarding having an attorney as an advisor, from the primary hearing portion of the Judicial Code, and applies it to appeal hearings. 25.) Article VI, Section 9.O. The same information appears later in Section 9.Q., so it was stricken here. 26.) Article VI, Section 9.O.2. Change made similar to that in #16, regarding self-incrimination. 27.) Article VI, Section 9.P. This allows the respondent to exercise his/her right to appeal without risking a harsher sanction; but it still allows the complainant to seek a harsher sanction, in accordance with Section 9.B.4. (Change recommended by the University Attorney’s Office.) 28.) Article VI, Section 13.B.1.e. Adds the Residence Life Assistant Attorney General (position created last year) to the Judicial Code Revision Committee. 29.) Article VI, Section 13.B.2. Expands and clarifies the duties of the Judicial Code Revision Committee.

These monthly or bi-monthly updates can be given via e-mail or physical visitation (as long as the Senator has already physically visited the president or organization). 5. The Senator’s final responsibility comes at the end of his or her term. After Senate goes through turnover, the Senator should contact the organization and let them know what is going on in Senate (specifically, that they may not be contacted for a while due to turnover, etc.). He or she may want to give them the Office of Student Activities and Services contact information, or provide the contact information for the newly elected Senate leadership until visitation assignments have been made for that term.

Student Senator Interns shall:

R-82 RESOLUTION 04/05/68 RESOLUTION OPPOSING THE PROPOSED KANSAS CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT ON MARRIAGE FREEDOM

BY: Governmental Relations, David McCandless, Sarah Laib, Anthony Garcia, Trent Smith, Ben Procter, Sally Maddock, Jason Heaser, Jason Garden, Ben Fenwick, Russell Thompson, Jen Mosier, Albert Pearce, Jacinda Mein, Joe Vossen, Annie Dwyer, and Mary Fox

WHEREAS, The state of Kansas has a long and distinguished history of tolerance and progressive action on issues ranging from slavery to civil rights, consistently proving ourselves as leaders in the quest for equality on the national and world stage;

WHEREAS, SCR 1601, a proposed Constitutional amendment regarding marriage, passed both chambers of the legislature and has been placed on the ballot for the April 5, 2005, municipal elections;

WHEREAS, This proposed amendment violates Kansas State University’s Principles of Community statement, would prevent Kansas State University from offering domestic partner benefits to our employees as long as the amendment remains in the Constitution, and would contribute to an environment where persons who work in the state of Kansas may be fired or otherwise discriminated against because of their sexual orientation;

WHEREAS, Similar amendments in other states have had inadvertent and disastrous effects, even for those not targeted by the amendment, including: In Utah, language in that state's marriage amendment is being used to deny "Protection from Abuse" orders to unmarried heterosexual victims of domestic violence ('Attorney Cites Amendment 3 in Fighting Protection Order', Associated Press, Nov. 15, 2004). In Michigan, the State has cancelled provisions of a previously negotiated contract with the Service Employees International Union which provided health care benefits to partners of state workers (Press Release, Human Rights Campaign, Dec. 2, 2004). In Ohio, unmarried heterosexual couples are having problems exercising medical powers of attorney. The Ohio amendment has been interpreted to bar any unrelated person from having medical power of attorney for another ('Marriage Amendment's Impact Felt Around Ohio', Connie Cartmell, Marietta Times, OH, Dec. 18, 2004);

WHEREAS, Kansas State University Student Governing Association cannot assume Kansas State University students, faculty, or staff will be immune to such ramifications;

WHEREAS, It is right and proper for the Kansas State University Student Governing

R-83 Association to make comment on issues that affect the state of Kansas, Kansas State University, and Kansas State University students; and

WHEREAS, Kansas State University Student Governing Association must be a strong voice standing up for our University and the students we represent.

Bush, U.S. Senator Pat Roberts, U.S. Senator Sam Brownback, U.S. Representative Jim Ryun, Governor Kathleen Sebelius, Lt. Governor John Moore, Attorney General Phill Kline, Secretary of Administration Duane Goosen, Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, Kansas State Senator Roger Reitz, Kansas State Representatives Sydney Carlin and Tom Hawk, Senate President Steve Morris, Senate Vice President John Vratil, Senate Majority Leader Derek Schmidt, Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, Speaker of the House Doug Mays, House Speaker Pro Tem Ray Merrick, House Majority Leader Clay Aurand, House Minority Leader Dennis McKinney, Board of Regents President and CEO Reggie Robinson, Regents Chair Dick Bond, Regents Vice Chair Donna Shank, Kansas State University President Jon Wefald, The Editor-in-Chief of each Kansas daily newspaper, K-State Collegian Editor-in-Chief Sarah Rice, University Daily Kansan Editor Andrew Vaupel, PSU Collegio Editor-in-Chief Kristen Currie, University Leader Editor-in-Chief Will Manly, The Bulletin Editor-in-Chief Rudy Rankin, The Sunflower Editor-in-Chief Courtney Cloyd, and Immanuel Baptist Church Senior Pastor Terry Fox.

Editor,

As a student senator and minority, Wednesday’s article about SGA’s unequal representation was troubling to me. I don’t wish to criticize the author but I’d like to address the truth regarding Senate and its diversity. I’m not claiming that we’re perfect and I don’t contest to the fact that on the surface, we look like a homogenous body. However, after further inspection, it’s easy to see we’re a very diverse group. Each member is unique, despite similarities in race, socioeconomic status, or participation in Greek organizations. Diversity isn’t simply outward appearances or lifestyles, but is composed of all facets of life that make us individual. Also, SGA continually strives to physically represent every person on campus. This year Senate’s eight graduate positions were filled, and in this group alone there are two individuals from other countries, three married students, and a student with a child. We ask that if any person feels they aren’t being properly represented, please come and voice your concerns. Our goal is to represent each individual but we need everyone’s help to make positive change. Lastly, I desire to discuss the ability of a true leader, and even beyond that, of a good person. A person of character and integrity focuses on issues and people beyond their social circle and beyond their own personal beliefs and opinions. I challenge K-State students to look past their limitations and strive to be a supporter of those unlike themselves. Everyone is different and this simple fact should be embraced.

Ashley Boldt Sophomore in Nutrition and Exercise Science
