After nearly a decade, Syracuse University’s Student Association could soon operate under a revised constitution.
The assembly on Monday unanimously approved several revisions to the constitution proposed by Parliamentarian Joshua Shub-Seltzer and the Organizational Review Committee. The updated constitution will now move to a referendum vote among the student body.
