Article VIII. Absenteeism
Section I. Officers
An officer who issues two consecutive meetings without advance notice and/or just cause will be considered to have resigned. Just cause will be decided by a majority vote of the executive committee and faculty sponsorship. In the event of a vacant position, the President, conferring with the executive committee, will appoint a successor to serve in that position until such time as elections can be held. This appointment is temporary and the position is officially vacant until the next election. A current officer may be temporarily appointed to the vacant position, thus holding two positions for a time. In the event of Presidential resignation, the Vice President becomes President and a new Vice President is appointed, as though that position had been vacated.
Section II. Members
No member shall be removed for lack of attendance. However, after two consecutive absences, a member shall be considered inactive. Attendance at one regular meeting restores a member o active status, and only active members have the right to vote.
Article IX. Amendments to By-Laws
These by-laws may be replaced, amended, or otherwise altered at any regular meeting by a simple majority of the members present, according to the rules for articles for business.
