Let it be resolved that: The Biomedical Engineering Graduate Student Association, the Campus Bible Fellowship, the InterVarsity Graduate Christian Fellowship, the Later Day Saint Student Association, the Korean Graduate Student Association, the Taiwanese Student Association, and the University Circle Bible Study be recognized by the Graduate Student Senate in accordance with Article VI of the Graduate Student Senate Bylaws and granted all the rights and privileges due a recognized graduate student organization. =========================== Motion #2000.04 Sponsor: GSS Student Orgs and Allocs Committee Title: HGSA Stop Gap Resolution Whereas: The History Grad Students Assn seeks some of the benefits of being a recognized graduate student group. Whereas: The History Grad Students Assn does not discriminate on any basis in their membership and activities. And has a membership composed of over half CWRU graduate students. Whereas: The History Grad Students Assn declines to recruit a faculty advisor because they wish to remain independent of faculty influence as a representative of graduate student interests in the CWRU History department. And this fact disqualifies them from the normal group recognition process of the Graduate Student Senate. Let it be Resolved: The History Grad Student Assn is allowed to be affiliated in name with the Graduate Student Senate and is recognized by the Graduate Student Senate to be the legitimate authority to represent graduate student interests internal to the CWRU History Department for the period of the 2000-01 academic year. This affiliation does not entitle the History Grad Student Assn any of the benefits awarded to recognized graduate student groups under Article VI of the Graduate Student Senate Bylaws except that they will be allowed to apply for group funding from the Graduate Student Senate under the rules that apply to all other recognized graduate student groups and will have their funding request considered on equal footing with that of all other recognized graduate student groups.
