Associated Students of Fort Lewis College met Wednesday night to discuss the changes that were made to the constitution and approved a new RSO.

Constitution Changes

For the past several weeks, the constitution committee of ASFLC has been working on changes to the constitution.

Twenty-two changes were made to the constitution in all, Roy Adams, ASFLC senator and a member on the constitution committee said.

A majority of the changes that took place were to spellings and titles and there were a few changes made to the content of the constitution.

One of the content changes that happened to the constitution regarded the process of electing the speaker of the Senate.

In previous years, the speaker of the Senate was elected into the position by a vote on the table.

The change that took place in the constitution now states that the speaker of the Senate doesn’t have to be elected, but can also be appointed in by the table as well by a simple majority vote.

Other content changes that took place in the constitution made it easier for ASFLC to run as a self-governing body, Adams said.

Women’s Rope Sports

The table unanimously moved to approve Resolution 18-051, which approved Women’s Rope Sports as an RSO on campus.

Women’s Rope Sports also gained FABs approval two weeks earlier.

Women’s Rope Sports is an existing organization on campus that was seeking to gain approval from ASFLC to become an RSO on campus, ASFLC senator Tiffani-Rae Briggs said.

This organization already has 30 members, Abby Arsenault, president of Women’s Rope Sports, said.

The primary focus of this organization is to educate women on the skills they would need in order to participate in different types of rope sports, like rock climbing and canyoneering, with the hopes to build technical mountaineering into the program, Arsenault said.
