Procedure:
Policy enactment for all subsequent years:
- The disclosure policy decided on in the previous academic year will be the status quo policy for the incoming class.
- For a vote on the disclosure policy to arise, subsequent classes will have to attain the names, signatures/e-signatures and GSB Ids from 25% of their incoming classmates. These signatures must be given to the GBC two weeks before the resume submission deadline for Career Services in the Fall quarter.
- If the required signatures are presented to the GBC by the required date, then the GBC will take appropriate measures to ensure that first year students are informed about the policy and its implications. The GBC will also administer the vote.
- For any new disclosure policy to be enacted:
- Only first year (incoming) Full Time MBA and IMBA students will vote on this policy.
- A minimum of 75% of the incoming Full Time MBA and IMBA students must cast a vote.
- Of those voting, 2/3 must vote for the new policy in order for it to be enacted.
- If the new policy is enacted, it will be effective immediately after the ballots have been counted.
- This new policy will then be the status quo policy that will be applied to the future incoming class.
- The new disclosure policy will not affect the disclosure policy decided on by previous classes.
