Proposed Constitutional Amendments

Earlier this year, the Executive Council and the Delegate Assembly forwarded proposals for constitutional amendments to the Committee on Amendments to the Constitution. The council’s proposal was to align the provision for paid life membership in article 3.C with the new criterion for the granting of life membership after fifty years. The assembly’s proposal was to provide representation on the council for part-time faculty members. The next step in the amendment process is for the Delegate Assembly to consider the proposed amendments at its meeting during the January 2017 convention in Philadelphia. The official notice of the proposed amendments, including the texts of the amendments, has now been posted on the Web site.
