The current constitution, as crafted and approved by the 2010-2011 IF board at the end of the 2011 Spring semester.
===Preamble===
:: We, the members of InterfaithInterFaith, established to bring together the different religion/spiritual-related groups on campus, do ordain and establish this constitution and subscribe to the regulations and polices policies of Williams College. ===Article I - Nameand Brief Description===
:: InterFaith will also operate under the acronym IF.
:: InterFaith brings together people of different religious backgrounds on campus so that they may interact with, empathize with, and understand each other. We regularly discuss religious issues in a safe space; we expect and respect differences of religion or opinion. We also coordinate activities with other religion/spiritual-related groups on campus.
===Article II - Purpose===
:: InterFaith was formed to bring together the different religion/spiritual-related groups on campus so that they may interact with, empathize with, and reduce possible misunderstanding between one another. InterFaith seeks to help the campus engage both the broad public realm and community life by highlighting the very personal beliefs of the multitude of the campus and providing spaces for students to engage and embrace such beliefs. InterFaith also serves as a coalition of groups that can educate the remainder of the campus on the differences and similarities between the groups; through different meetings and events, IF will instigate discussions and learning experiences readily available for people who might not have encountered any or all other faiths on campus. Finally, InterFaith will serve as greater support for the religions/spiritual-related groups on campus, providing more student voice should the need arise.
:: All Williams College students are eligible for membership. There are no restrictions on College students for admission. Membership is completely open to whoever would like to join. We do not anticipate a need for removal of members, but if such a situation arises, the IF officers will deal privately with the matter. To withdraw from IF, members may remove themselves from the InterFaith listserve and stop attending meetings. Only active members may vote or hold office.
:: Williams College, in compliance with state and federal law, does not discriminate in admission, employment, or administration of its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, ancestry, or military service. Any member of the College community who on any ofthese grounds feels discriminated against by another member of the community should take action.
===Article V - Officers/Elections===
:: The officers for IF are two Co-Chairs, one Treasurer, and one Secretary. At least two officers constitute an executive committee, and this group has the power to make decisions on behalf of the group, except in cases of a decision normally made by the vote of the officer and non-officer members of InterFaith.
:: Any money that InterFaith has acquired prior to dissolution will be donated to the Williams College Council Projects Fund.
===Article XI - Exigency===:: InterFaith also reserves the parliamentary authority to be used for points not covered in this Constitution.
