President Andres Montoya did not receive their right to recall an ASI executive officer. Last spring the Student Court held a hearing to determine the validity of the process regarding the special election to recall then ASI President Andres Montoya. The court examined facts presented by Montoya, then ASI Administrative Vice President Nicole Kasabian, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Robert Lundal and a representative of the student group who called for the recall. One of the key details of the ruling was that the petitioners acted in complete com¬ pliance with established ASI bylaws, and were not given fair treatment by the ASI. Another key point was that the AS I by¬ laws are inadequate to deal with a recall election that has special circumstances. The Student Court recommended that the ASI Senate do what is necessary to ensure that this kind of violation does not happen again. However, the court did not have the three-fifths majority which would have set precedent. Drummond said that there may be re- del iteration with new members of Student Court in order to make the decision binding. The recall was not pursued because new elections were only days away, Drummond said. The Associated Students, Inc. Student Court is supposed to be composed of five ASI appointed justices, whose purpose is to interpret ASI bylaws. One justice acts as a chief justice, who writes and presents any decision to the ASI Senate. *T*r* , The appointments to Student Court are for two-year terms. Current Chief Justice Mary Anne Drum¬ mond said any student can bring a case to the court if it has to do with ASI bylaws. All decisions of the Student Court should be taken under consideration by the ASI, Drummond said. But if there is not a three-fifths majority, the ruling does not set a precedent, Drum¬ mond said.' CSUF to assemble advisory committee for accreditation By Amle Goodrich StaffWriter CSU Fresno is preparing for its 10 year accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is planning to assemble a Student Advisory Committee to act as a liaison between WASC and the students of CSUF. The Student Advisory Committee will be made up of 16 to 20 students of all majors who arc interested in learning about how the evaluation of a complex organization takes place, and are willing to commit themselves for two semesters on the committee. Dr. Leonard Salazar, associate vice presi¬ dent of Academic Affairs, initially had the idea of using a student advisory committee and will provide general education credit for those who participate. The biggest problem during the ac¬ creditation process is getting student feed¬ back, the Student Advisory Committee will help us look inward in order to assess the quality of education that is being provided." Salazar said. "We know 4 will be a lot of work, and believe that the students on the committee should be able to obtain credit for their efforts.** Salazar and Dr. Priscilla Chaffe-Sten- gal, WASC coordinator, drew up a proposal which was reviewed and passed by the GE subcommittee Thursday morning. Since Lhe proposal was accepted, participating students will enroll in IntD 193 A and B, Evaluating Complex Organizations, which will serve as a two course Capstone over the spring and fall 1993 semesters. According to the proposal, "the courses are designed to synthesize evaluation theo¬ ries from various literatures, examine .the components of the university as guided by the WASC Handbook and outlined in the institutional self-study and critique the content and balance of presentation achieved in the draft of the campus* comprehensive ) Please see WASC; *age 6
