Thanks so much for the inquiry! In my haste to post, I made an error in my description of the election results. It was, in fact, approved properly, by a vote that exceeded 2/3 of the ballots cast (57 votes, 46 approved and 11 not approved). This information was also reflected in the formal report submitted by our Elections Committee --- the details of which were not available at the time that I posted. Thanks again! This has been quite reassuring!

Thanks so much! I updated the document and added the original adoption date and the amendment date on the first page and footers! Glad to know I was on the right track! It's better to be overprepared than the latter! Thanks again!

Our organization just approved by majority vote a change to a specific part of our current bylaws. The language regarding amendments as described in our Constitution are below: Section 3. An amendment to the Faculty Constitution is adopted when it is approved by a two-thirds vote of the ballots cast by the Faculty Association and by the President. A change to the Bylaws of the Faculty Constitution is adopted when the Faculty Association, with a two-thirds vote of the ballots cast, approves it. However, there is no specific language about the procedure for updating portions of the bylaws once the amendments have been approved. Does this require an immediate retyping of the entire bylaws to reflect this change? If so, does this need to be signed and dated, or is the endorsement reserved for adoptions of fully revised bylaws? If not, how are the changes documented? Thanks so much! This forum has been a godsend for our shared governance group!
