Though the constitution has not yet been made public, an interview with Erlebacher revealed the changes that had been made in the constitution. These changes were confirmed by Fr. John T. Richardson, dean of faculties and University trustee.

To the end of this statement was added the phrase, "... all of which shall be in accordance with the fundamental policies of the University established from time to time by the Board of Trustees." btlUlbA Trustees OK Senate In the original constitution, Senate policy decisions would become part of University policy within 30 days receipt by the president unless that policy was vetoed by the president.
