UNIVERSITY POLICY STATEMENT
It is recognized by Eastern Michigan University
that the student body has the right to establish
and maintain a Student Body Constitution. The Student
Body Constitution sets forth the structure and procedures
of student government. The constitution gains no
added authority by being referenced in the Policy
Manual nor are the students hereby limited in their
power to approve or implement changes to their constitution.
To the extent that the Student Body Constitution
may be found to conflict with Board approved policy
such as may occur in the provisions on judicial
power, it is not controlling on the University,
its governing board or administrators.
Student Government bears the legal responsibility
for its actions and for its oversight of the Student
Body Constitution.
UNIVERSITY PRACTICE
Student Government will be responsible for maintaining
the Student Body Constitution. The Constitution
is a reflection of the structure and procedures
of Student Government.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
The Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management is responsible
for the overall implementation, administration and
interpretation of the policy. Student Government
is responsible for the daily administration of this
policy.
SCOPE OF POLICY COVERAGE
This policy applies to all students at Eastern
Michigan University.
