Article XXXV: Establishment of a New Constitution
If at any time the Earlham Student Government Cabinet decides the
present Constitution no longer serves as a functioning guide
to any part of the Earlham Student Government, and amending the
constitution alone will not repair these infractions, the present
Constitution must be rewritten.
If the Cabinet decides to undertake the revision of the present
Constitution, the Cabinet shall create a Constitutional sub-committee
of elected
members to draft the new Constitution. The final draft is then presented
before Cabinet with the purpose of reaching an approval by consensus.
After approval by the Cabinet, and in accordance with the College
Governance Structure, the final draft of the new Constitution is
presented for approval by consensus to the Committee on Campus Life.
This is necessary because “Student Government and all student
organizations and activities operate within the framework of policies
and procedures approved by the Committee on Campus Life”, as
stated by the Earlham Governance Document located in the Student
Handbook.
If the Committee on Campus Life approves the new Constitution, it
shall then be presented to the student body as a referendum. The
referendum must have a quorum of 150 voters, and a majority vote
in approval of the new Constitution shall establish it as the Constitution
of the Earlham College Student Government.
