Comment on the Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities

“The Michigan Student Assembly, the Senate Assembly, or the Executive Officers of the University may propose amendments to the Statement. All proposed amendments will be reviewed by the Students Relations Committee of SACUA. After consultation with each of the above-mentioned groups, the Student Relations Committee will forward the proposed amendments to the President of the University with the committee’s recommendation on implementation. The final decision on amending the Statement will be the President’s. The president will endeavor to communicate his or her decision to accept or reject each of the proposed amendments in a public and timely manner, during the regular academic year. It is suggested that the president’s communication to the student body state a rationale for each decision to reject an amendment.” —Statement of Student Rights and Responsibilities, July 1, 2005
