Adjournment of a meeting

Recommended Posts

The emergency: This meeting took place before school started. The bell was about to ring for the students to go to class, but the class advisor said he would excuse the students for a few minutes of their 1st hour class. He said that anyone who wanted to go to class could go and miss the rest of the meeting. The president made a motion to adjourn because he wanted to go to class. It was voted down. Therefore, the president said he had the right to call for an emergency adjournment and adjourned the meeting. What do you think?

The President was free to go to class and turn the Chair over to the Vice President (or the assembly could elect a Chair pro tem if the VP wanted to leave as well). You all were within your rights to ignore the President's improper Adjournment and continue the meeting but since that didn't happen what is done is done.
