,;y Kevin Vaughan MSC Student Government representatives are currently working on a new draft of the school's constitution and a .JiJeW grievance policy . for student appeals. Student Government is working under one of several drafts of the constitution, which has not been given final approval by school president Brage Golding. ~ - According to Dave Sutherland, ASMSC Vice President, the constitution now'bein~followed is one that was drafted in the fall of 1983, and then sent to the Colorado Attorney General's office to be reviewed. ~ However, a referendum that was neld before the amended version of the constitution came back from the Attorney General's office. , The constitution was then rewritten last spring, but copies of it were not circulated among students ~ when the ~ferendum question "Do you favor the constitution as amended?" was put before the-students, a sense of confusion ensued, Sutherland said. _ Golding instructed Student Government officials to begin drafting the new ronstitution because he said he fears the present one may be illegal. ·Sutherland said a committee has been formed to draft the new legisla1 · tion and is trying to get the document done by the end of the fall semester. I' Even though the constitution was approved by the students in last spring's elections, it was not given final r approval by Golding or former MSC President Richard Fontera. After the constitution is rewritten, Student Government will begin draf9ng a clear policy for student grievance appeals. Golding outlined a basic plan for the appeal process and Student Government officials will use that rough draft ·· as a prelimenary outline to their final ~- document. ... The need for a clear policy for student grievance appeals became ap,,... parent last March, when a student had ' a grievance againt one of her instructors but had no clear course to follow in makin~ the appeal . ...t The -student contacted the head of the department in question, but since a specific procedure did not exist the situation became even more confusing. "We need a grievance procedure," Sutherland said. "The trustees and the J, college could be in trouble without one, '&cause, in theroy, a student with a grievance could come back and sue the ' school." D

from each group conduct the qffcampus interviews. The Trustee Selection Committee has four members. The alternative was being considered to possibly avoid the task of choosing four persons from the seven-member IAC. TSC member John Vigil said the subject was informally discussed by the trustees last week in Gunnison. "It was my understanding that it was never a vote." said Vigil. Another TSC member, Irene Sweetkind, said there was no reason to vote. "We voted on a policy ... we're sticking to policy.'' said Sweetkind. "We don't need to vote again." .Woodard said that more than four members from the IAC would make the group "too large to sensibly conduct an interview." cont. on
