Resolutions
Resolutions are the principal form of Assembly business. Each resolution has at least one author, who is credited for the conception and/or drafting of the resolution. Each resolution is introduced by at least one sponsoring Member, who makes an implicit motion to adopt it; unless it is from the University Council, a ballot initiative, or a referendum. A resolution cannot be withdrawn except with the permission of all Sponsoring Members. A withdrawn resolution can recommence consideration at the point in the legislative process at which it was withdrawn if one or more Members sponsor it.
