WHEREAS,    the 87th session of North Carolina State University Student Government is now in place; and,

WHEREAS,    we as a Student Government are committed to helping better the quality of life on and around campus for our students; and,

WHEREAS,    student government "accountability" has been an important concern of the Student Body in recent history; and,

WHEREAS,    student body officer elections are often won based on campaign promises and platforms, and the victors should hold themselves accountable to the Student Body by working to implement those plans; and,

WHEREAS,    Student Body Treasurer Dave Foxx has promised to help student organizations create websites for publicity, establish an online grading system of sponsoring senators for student groups with appropriations requests, and work to procure a student special at BojangleÕs; and,

WHEREAS,    Student Chief Justice Lock Whiteside has promised to raise the burden of proof to innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, hold workshops and events relating to alcohol awareness, and reform several iniquities within the judicial process; and,

WHEREAS,    publicly declaring these minimum objectives for the 87th session of the Student Government is a critical step in ensuring their implementation and remaining accountable to the students; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED,  that the North Carolina State University Student Government hereby charges itself with accomplishing, at bare minimum, the foregoing objectives during its 87th session.
