several ways that the Board of Trustees votes. The first and most commonly used voting method is roll call.
The Secretary calls rolls and everyone replies with a yes, no, or abstain. An abstention is not voting yes or no,
but staying neutral.

CODE OF ETHICS
This document is put forth in order to ensure that all students receive proper and appropriate representation.
Members of the Student Government, including the Student Trustee, are expected to comply with this decree
in order to protect and preserve the sanctity of the McHenry County College Student Government. If any

responsibility of representing your fellow students in a professional and respectable manner. Please keep in
mind that your actions both on and off campus will have an impact on the perception of the
