Constitutional Revision Taskforce

The Constitutional Revision Taskforce is an ad hoc committee charged by Chancellor Sam Schuman to review the UMM Constitution. The By-laws may be reviewed concurrently or separately. Suggestions for areas of consideration include the amendment process and discrepancies between campus policy and practice.

You may contact the committee through its listserv, UMMCONREV@LISTS.UMN.EDU. The commmittee intends to post information about its proceedings.

The 2006 Open Forums were held Nov. 16 and Nov. 29. Questions discussed may be found in the Nov. 6 proceeding notes. Members of the campus community may continue to participate in the discussion via the on-line forum, which requires X-500 log-in.
