A bill will be introduced at Wednesday’s Government of the Student Body meeting to remove a senator.

The meeting is at 7 p.m. in the Gallery of the Memorial Union.

Katherine Gordon, graduate student in educational leadership and policy studies, has missed several consecutive GSB meetings, none of which were excused, according to the new bill.

She was not available for comment on Tuesday.

“What it all boils down to, ultimately, is that for senators, as far as rules go, you need to represent your constituents,” said David Leege, Frederiksen Court senator. “Part of that is by showing up to meetings.”

He said the rules on absences are built into GSB’s bylaws.

“To be perfectly honest, if a senator’s not able to be at meetings and does not communicate with the speaker or vice president about their absence they’re likely to be removed,” said Victor Raymond, graduate student senator.

Leege said the GSB Rules Committee did an investigation and recommended a bill that could potentially remove Gordon. He said Gordon had the option to be present at that meeting.

“Since we haven’t heard anything from her, [the bill] is up for its first read,” Leege said.

The bill will be voted on a week after the first read. If it passes, GSB will contact the Graduate Student Senate and notify them there is an open position. There are three Graduate Student Senate seats on GSB.

Also at the meeting will be Peg Armstrong-Gustafson, interim president and CEO for the ISU Foundation, and Phyllis Lepke, vice president of communications. They will be speaking about the Foundation’s public information policy.

“The main thing is, there are two people coming basically to talk with us and inform us about what the Foundation is and have a time where we or other students can ask questions,” Leege said.

Raymond said the Foundation will probably talk about the role they play on campus.

He said issues dealing with open records will not be resolved at this meeting.

A seating bill is also up for its first read. Scott Henry Schaefer, junior in civil engineering, has been nominated to the position of associate justice on the GSB Supreme Court.

The Unicycle and Juggling Club has asked GSB for about $1,500 for supplies, and a bill giving Cy’s All-Campus Leadership Summit about $8,500 will be read at this meeting.

“My understanding of the bill is that we’re funding 600 T-shirts” for the summit, Leege said.

He said this is something GSB usually doesn’t do in its regular allocation process.

“We’ve got a fair amount of money, especially in the discretionary fund,” Leege said. “The only way in my mind to give that money back to students is to spend it on students.”
