Several students have made good progress
toward forming a student government – however, the process appears to be
inefficient. So inefficient , in fact, that this government or what they call,
the student association seems like it
will never be born. So what will be this effort’s fate?
The Voice did research to find out the
answer for this question. It is unclear who is at fault for the constitution
not being finalized yet. Some background: Four
students wrote a first draft of a constitution for the student body of AUIS.
The students were not elected but, rather, choose on their own to begin this
process. In November 2012, these students submitted a draft to the
administration. Revisions and discussion have been made by the administration.
Now, according to the Director of Student Services, the students plan to openly
discuss the constitution soon and even hold a referendum. If these final steps
take place, this will be great; however, it should have happened before the constitution was written –
not after.
