Why must new officers resign their Assembly seats in order to take up elected positions on the Executive Committee (IV.2)?
Elected officers are going to be very busy people under the new constitution, especially if one adds in the fact that they will be graduate or professional students who have classes to teach or papers to write. It would be difficult for them to adequately represent their home department while at the same time fulfill their time commitments to the GPSO as well. Even though this procedure means that a few departments will need to select new Representatives every January, this requirement is the fairest procedure to all concerned.
