ANNOUCEMENTS: • There were no announcements. GENERAL BUSINESS: • The spot for College of Education Student Senator was filled, but the individual backed out. They will elect someone at the council’s next meeting. • Proofread legislation. • Chair Norris provided an overview of what was discussed in a special meeting about the By-Laws and Statutes revisions. o The outline of the complaint process was discussed. o There was a consensus about the first hearing including the Elections Commissioner.  A formal hearing procedure must be developed for the Elections Commissioner to go through.  The Elections Commissioner will function as judge, so it will differ from Student Tribunal hearings.  Attorney General Tank provided several documents for reference in determining what the hearing would entail. o It was also discussed to have the Elections Commissioner and Student Tribunal not be allowed to submit a complaint. They would not be allowed to file a complaint and try that same complaint.  Speaker Schultz and Bill Harlan, assistant coordinator of the Office of Student Activities and Services, expressed concerns over the repercussions of that system.
