RHA tidies their by-laws
In an effort to ensure that its meetings run more efficiently, Michael Crawford, Policies and Rules Sub-Committee chairman, introduced Residence Halls Association House Rules into the RHA Constitution.
The Residence Halls Association by-laws, a document enumerating the process by which RHA meetings will be held, will now include an additional chapter outlining the House Rules.
The House Rules will make official the amount of time given to representatives speaking in Congress.
There was debate over how Congress would change the RHA House Rules should future changes be necessary.
RHA Representative Peter Jones proposed a movement to change RHA rules to match the two-thirds majority vote in U.S. Congress in order to change the Constitution.
The movement failed, and both bills concerning the RHA House Rules passed in Congress.
