(G) Alternate student members. Each student member of the council is expected to attend its meetings regularly but an alternate representative shall be appointed for each member in order to assure full attendance at regular meetings when elected student members are justifiably absent. When a student member is unable to attend a meeting of the council, the member shall notify the secretary of the graduate school in advance of the meeting, giving the name of the alternate who will attend. The alternate shall then have the general powers and privileges in the council of the member represented.
