The changes to the SGA constitution have passed with a 90.99% pass rate.
A total of 555 students voted; 505 voted for, 50 voted against.
The changed constitution will go into effect after the completion of the current SGA term. The new officers, who will be sworn in in April, will be sworn in under the new constitution.
The constitutional changes passed in Senate three weeks ago. Senate then gathered 135 signatures from the student body, which allowed them to put the new constitution up for a vote on Monday February 24 .
The biggest change in the new constitution is the GPA requirement for Student Government Officials. The new constitution requires all high officers of SGA to have a GPA of 3.25 for undergraduate students, 2.50 for graduate students, and 2.00 for law students. It requires cabinet officers and senators to have a GPA of 3.00 for undergraduate students, a 2.50 for graduate students, and a 2.00 for law students.
Now that the constitution revisions have passed, Senate will move onto bylaw revisions.
