resolving clause

Read a random definition: emergency circumstances

A quick definition of resolving clause:

A resolving clause is a part of a resolution that introduces the operative text, usually starting with the words "Resolved, That...." It is similar to a statute's enacting clause and is not just a recital or preamble.

A more thorough explanation:

A resolving clause is a part of a resolution that introduces the operative text. It usually starts with the words "Resolved, That...." This clause is similar to a statute's enacting clause.

  • A city council passes a resolution to ban single-use plastic bags. The resolving clause of the resolution would be "Resolved, That the city council hereby bans the use of single-use plastic bags within city limits."
  • A student government association passes a resolution to increase funding for mental health resources on campus. The resolving clause of the resolution would be "Resolved, That the student government association allocates additional funds to improve mental health resources on campus."

These examples illustrate how the resolving clause introduces the operative text of a resolution. It clearly states the action that is being taken or the decision that is being made.

@InsipidLemon: really depends on how much they like you. Some schools will give it to you unsolicited, others you must ask.
I decided to apply to ASU because why not cause I saw they waived the application and CAS fee

Gecko, I feel pretty good. Two of the RC passages had really tough inference questions -- hoping I narrowed down my answer choices correctly

Very happy with LR other than having to guess on a couple questions cuz of time

i have a question about my personal statement. in my activism for the hospitality workers' union, i organized and spoke up in favor of stronger regulations on airbnb because the unregulated spread of airbnb throughout LA was inflating housing costs for workers and threatening their job security. do you think it's too divisive to mention regulating airbnb? idk

I'm sure you'll get a full ride to a few schools :P

The impression I get is most schools try not to judge based on the political implications of what you write about. They probably care more that you saw a problem and tried to fix it. That seems like a great thing to write a PS about @chowie
11:18
Besides, if a school didn’t let you in for trying to fix a problem you saw in your community, that doesn’t say great things about your school’s culture (assuming the thing you did showed good common sense judgment ofc)
11:19
That school’s* culture
11:23
Thanks Howl you're right :D I def talked about solving problems in my PS

"Have you applied for admission to [school] in a prior year" I applied in Oct. of the 23-24 cycle, should I put 23 or 24 as the year I applied?
MildChiller
12:09
Bcuz 2023 is when I technically applied but I applied for admissions in 2024
12:14
2024 cuz that's when you would've been admitted
I agree with Howl
