**BREAKING**

The ASUC Judicial Council has removed their injunction against spending the frozen 54 money, presumably removing the last legal roadblock to dispersing that money. The GA had appealed to the Judicial Council after the injunction was instated, in Lafata vs. Graduate Assembly.
As there is no language within the Charter brought to us that clearly makes the contested allocation unconstitutional, the Judicial Council lifts its preliminary injunction, and as the case has been resolved, I hereby lift my previously issued gag order.
However, a section of the Graduate Assembly Charter was found to be in conflict with the ASUC Constitution, and struck down, to be replaced by new legislation.
We therefore consider the last sentence of Article V Section 4 of the Graduate Assembly to be statutorily worthless, and as such, odious to the Constitution’s requirement of the Graduate Assembly to “frame a charter that includes its…limitations for carrying out its functions…. including a section concerning funding.” That sentence in the Charter is hereby stricken, and, in accordance with the Constitution, the Graduate Assembly and ASUC Senate are ordered to frame replacement legislation consistent with this and previous Judicial Council decisions, and in a manner that clearly illustrates their meaning, by the end of the 2003-2004 academic year.
That would be this regulation:
5.4. The Graduate Assembly shall have the authority to seek non-ASUC funds as it desires, so long as such action does not conflict with the goals of the entire student body as expressed by the ASUC Constitution and does not in any way endanger the tax-exempt status of the ASUC. Any non-ASUC funds received by the Graduate Assembly must be deposited in the Assembly's ASUC account and are subject to all applicable regulations for the expenditure of ASUC funds.

I'll analyze later if I get the time.
