Resolution Process
-
A resolution is a motion to take a certain action or express a certain view. It is a means to amplify student voices and gather consensus. An effective resolution is one that conveys a sense of the issue or problem that led to the proposed action, provides an explanation or justification for the particular proposed solution, and makes it absolutely clear what students are voting on. A resolution is not a change in bylaws or policy, although it could result in such action. The ultimate purpose is to advance the common good and effect positive change.
