The nonvoting representative will enjoy all the privileges accorded to representatives. Additionally, members of the organized student groups may serve on such other committees of the student assembly as appropriate.

(e) A group shall not be designated an organized student group or be seated in the student assembly if it has a policy or practice of restricting membership on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, marital status or age.
