The opinion on Nanakul v. SGAO (Case 32)- regarding the missing Student Bill of Rights - is officially out. As promised, the Student Bill of Rights is attached
( Read more... )
IV. Durability of Senate Bill #48 (2003) Senate Bill # 38 imposed substantial new duties on the Student Government Administrative Office, however it did not enter these into the bylaws.
That's something else that should be corrected, unless I am mistaken, in which case, my apologies.
"ORDERED, that the Student Bill of Rights, if found, be made available online within a month of its discovery, or the publication of this opinion whichever occurs later."
...followed by the Student Bill of Rights. Well played. I enjoyed that.
Cuz it was my first piece of legislation ever, and I did'nt realize the importance of not writing into the codes O.o
Also, not that this should become an issue, but how did you acquire your copy of the bill of rights? Was it the exact version of what was voted on and passed?
I tihnk I meant to add a disclaimer that we aren't hereby saying that htis version is the definitive version. The version attached is certified by SGAO as authentic -- we ourselves have not scrutinized it.
I think the question of the endurance of bills & resolutions beyond the year they are passed is an interesting one. Many assume they carry authority until overruled by later legislation; but if that were the case, there would be literally hundreds of these binding documents in the archives which one would be responsible for knowing, and is it really reasonable to expect ASUCD to continue to enforce all these? Maybe it is (= I think it could be argued either way.

Its kinda funny how the new Focites largely abandoned these Bill of Rights, when it's one of their few remaining legacies...
