Given the extraordinary situation regarding Covid-19 for the semester of Fall 2020, the Executive Committee has decided to allow the temporary adoption of a co-president candidacy for the election of Fall 2020 Executive Committee. The uncertainty and difficulty of running Blueprint outside normal operations in Fall 2020 warrants the need for a co-presidency.
A co-presidency will take up the same duties as a singular president, shared as the Co-Presidents see fit. This change is intended to prevent the overwork of the president in uncertain times. The Executive Committee's recommendation is to reflect on the outcome of a co-presidency at the end of the semester to see if a constitutional amendment introducing a permanent adoption of potential co-presidents should be proposed.
