Impeachment
As per the Student Association Constitution, any member of the Student Association has the right to initiate impeachment proceedings against members of the Executive Committee.
Petitions seeking to initiate impeachment must clearly name the officer in question, specific charges against the officer, and the name of the principal student who makes the charges. The petition’s advocate must present signatories with full and legible information on the aim of the petition. A single petition may not be used to initiate impeachment proceedings against more than one officer.
Upon being presented with a petition for impeachment, the USAEC must verify that it contains the necessary number of valid signatures, that such signatures were honestly gathered, and that the items required by Section B are included.
If the USAEC rules that the petition is valid, the charges listed therein will be forwarded to the Student Court for further action. If the USAEC does not find the petition valid, then it must inform the student who originated it, and retain the invalid petition for a minimum of two (2) years.
For any further clarification on policy regarding impeachment, or to start a petition for impeachment, please contact the USAEC Chair at saelections@geneseo.edu.
