SAE

The full name of the current Shortwood Teachers' College's SAE President is Ramon Winston Smith?

• This is absolutely true

• Definitely not

• Naw, not at all

If all positions of the SAE are filled, there will be 20 persons that form the executive

• That sounds like too many persons

• Well, I am not too sure about this

• No, there should definitely be about 2 more

In the presentation the acronym PROP was mentioned. PROP means:

• to support or keep in position to effect a purpose in an organization

• to understand position, relationship, organization and purpose

• Why are you stressing me, I didn't even hear the phrase

The membership of the Student Association comprise all registered undergraduate students of Shortwood Teachers’ College (see Article 3: Membership)

• Totally impossible for ALL students to make up an Association

• Of course, how else would we have an Association

• You have it wrong, its the leaders with position that make up the Association

In relation to year group executive, meetings shall only be convened if the President has approved of said meeting, or is in attendance (see Article 9d:Functions of the Year Group Executives)

• Huh!? So we can't meet on our own as year group reps?

• What are you talking about?

• Sure, but who came up with such an article?

In relation to meetings of the Association and the SA Executive, based on Article 13, tick all that apply:

• The Association shall meet at least TWICE per semester

• The Student Association Executive shall meet bi-monthly, or for extraordinary purposes

• Year Group Executives shall meet bi-monthly, or for extraordinary purposes

• All arrangements for meetings of “The Association” shall be by the SAE College Secretary in consultation with the College President

• Any year group representative can organize a meeting so long as the SAE President has been informed

Article 15 speaks to Quorum, i.e. the minimum number of members that must be present at any of its meetings to make the proceedings of that meeting valid. What is the quorum for Association meetings?

• 50%

• 1/2

• 3/4

Article 16: Procedures for meeting

Meetings MUST include the following: a call to order, welcome, prayer, courtesies, reading and/or confirmation of the minutes, and discussion of matters arising from the minutes

• Too many things are listed - two should be removed

• One thing is missing from the list - apology for absence

• Of course, we did this in Communication Skills 2

Article 16 (cont'd): In the meeting, members must address the Chairperson before addressing the group.(e.g. “through you Mr./Madam Chairperson”)

• Absolutely, who doesn't know this - Geez!

• What for? we would have already extended courtesies at the start of the meeting

• Huh? Why so formal? I mean, come on people

Which of the College Executive Members is responsible for representing ‘The College’ and its students at events and functions external to “The College”

• Secretary
