Article XXIX: Procedure for Completing a Student Veto

The party initiating the veto must submit to the Student Executive Council a petition signed by ten (10) percent of the student body on campus in support of the proposed veto. To determine how many signatures are needed for a valid petition, the number of students on campus can be found in the in the Registrar’s Office.

When a valid petition for a veto has been submitted to the Student Executive Council, the Cabinet must organize a Decision Making All Student Meeting to take place within two (2) academic weeks from the time the valid petition was received by the SEC. The purpose of this meeting is to decide by consensus whether to carry out the veto, or to maintain the Cabinet’s original decision.

If the students present at the Decision Making All Student Meeting carry out the veto of the Cabinet’s decision, they shall then reach a consensus on an alternative decision at that same meeting. If the students present can not, or choose not to reach consensus on an alternative decision, an alternative decision shall be made by the Cabinet at their next meeting. If the students present can reach consensus on an alternative decision, the Earlham Student Government will then endorse the new decision made by the student body in an Official Document that is made public to the Earlham community and a copy shall be filed in the Earlham Student Government Archives.
