    Dear Sarah,



    Thank you for sharing Resolution 24, Attendance Policy Charter Changes, with me. I understand the concept of these changes, and am glad to see the Student Assembly make room for exceptions in their attendance policy. While I do not have an issue with the idea you are suggesting, I ask that the SA revisit the wording of your policy to make it clearer, as now the language is discretionary in one part (“The Executive Committee may avert…”) and obligatory in another (“The same action must be taken…”).



    I suggest you eliminate the last sentence, assuming you mean that the vote is optional.



    Regards,



    David Skorton
