This repository contains sources of CMU Student Government Bylaws. It was created to streamline change tracking and distribution of actual versions of bylaws. Starting Fall 2017, bylaws are maintained as Markdown documents instead of Microsoft Word. Text nature of Markdown documents allows to track changes easily. It also allows to produce nice PDF representation on the fly using pandoc compiler.
Most of bylaws changes require approval by both Senate and GSA, so at least for now we do not accept pull requests. If you want to propose a change to bylaws, please contact your representative in either Student Senate or Graduate Student Assembly.
