Article XXVIII: Grounds for a Student Veto

The purpose of granting student veto power, as well as the right to participate in All Student Meetings and the various voting procedures, is to hold the Earlham Student Government accountable to the Student Government Constitution, and therefore to the Earlham student body as a whole.

If any decision made by the Earlham Student Government Cabinet appears to be contrary to the proper duties, procedures, and processes described within the present Constitution, action to veto that decision can be initiated by any student within two (2) weeks from the time that the decision was made public. In accordance with the present Constitution, decisions made by the Cabinet contrary to the Principles and Practices of Earlham College are unconstitutional and therefore legitimate grounds for a student veto.
