CR - UH Group -- legal info. for constitution

To reinterate what Perronnelle has said... the SCA branch known as The
College of Twr Cath is dormant, but has already attained full status and is
no longer incipient.  If they reorganize and become a viable group again, I
believe they will be considered a full status group. It is possible that
since this group would be a completely new group than the earlier group
that had attained full status, that the Kingdom might re-designate them as
incipient, until proven stable.  And their name and device have already
passed kingdom (though that is only part of the criteria for getting to
full status).

"Those 15 people would all have to be current students of the University.
[If you want to hold this interest group from becoming the College for a
longer period of time, you could require that they also be registered and
paying members of SCA, Inc. -- afterall, isn't that how SCA determines the
level of a group....by paid memberships?]

To which I respond... now things get tricky.  On the SCA side only: Since
the college of Twr Cath is within the boundaries of another branch, its
memberships (based on zipcodes) are not counted separately from the barony.
So, in this case the Twr Cath memberships count to the zip codes in which
they reside (Stargate, Loch, one of the Cantons, etc).  The officers
definately have to be paid members by corporate law, which allows them to
be warranted (ie covered by the insurance) and to get a Kingdom newsletter.
The College of Twr Cath memberships only count on paper, as per their
reports, but not as far as a branch viability goes.. its one of those
wierdness that colleges get (unless the college is independent from any
other group..ie. its the only branch in that city area.)

Who is eligible to be a member of the University group (according to the
University)?  Current students, current staff, and alumni.
What constitutes an alumni?  According to the Alumni Org., anyone who has
taken at least 3 hours of classes at UH & is a paid member of the Alumni
Org.
Of course, current staff and alumni would not be counted in the membership
count of the College.  But there are many 'alumni' around the area (even if
they aren't paid members of the alumni org.)."

Now I'm confused... are you saying the UH student association would allow
staff or alumni to be active members and/or officers of the UH
organization; or must they have officers who are students, only??  If I
recall a conversation at the Loch last weekend, the officers (3 needed) of
a student organization must be students (part or full time) and not be
staff or alumni...right??
