What to know about this Haverford tradition.
|
The Haverford College Plenary is a biannual, student-run governing assembly where students meet to debate and vote on resolutions shaping campus life, including the Honor Code. It serves as the primary mechanism for community-wide decision-making. Fall Plenary is scheduled for Sunday, November 8.
For Plenary to occur, a quorum must be reached, meaning that at least two-thirds of the student body must be in attendance. For a resolution to pass, two-thirds of the attending students must consent. The responsibility of carrying out and upholding changes or initiatives falls to the Students’ Council.
This upcoming Plenary will continue this tradition, offering students the opportunity to engage in meaningful dialogue and collective decision-making on resolutions that shape the Haverford community.
