 		<h1>Andrew Yu's Student Government Proposals</h1>
@@ -35,7 +35,28 @@
 		This is definitely not an easy proposal (though the good thing is, unlike the previous proposal, there's no money involved for installing extra hardware)&mdash;writing rigorous legal documents (or documents of similar nature) is hard.  I will, regardless of the results of the election this year, actively help in asking school officials and other faculty and staff about current regulations, integrate them into a hopefully comprehensive document, and review and revise them with members of the Student Government, faculty and staff, and the student body.
 		</p>
 		<p>
-		This is a relatively new idea.  I'm working on <a href="constitution.pdf">a revised version of the Student Government Constitution</a>, but this is obviously not enough&mdash;I hope to cover all policies and regulations, not only these directly related to Student Government itself and the elections thereof.
+		To give you an example of how fragmented information is at the moment: We have so many seperate policies, and for the most part they don't link to each other.  There isn't a central document that tells us ``alright, the documents linked below are all the policies''.  Considering the ``legality'' of any behavior nearly always involves ``Is there something I missed again?''.  In fact, none of these documents are, from the perspective of a new Y9 student, published somewhere obvious enough for us to know they exist and to follow them. We have the following:
+		</p>
+		<ul>
+			<li>Behavior policy</li>
+			<li>Behavior guidelines</li>
+			<li>Uniform policy</li>
+			<li>Late homework policy (which may vary depending on the teacher and/or course)</li>
+			<li>COVID-19 policy</li>
+			<li>Academic malpractice definition</li>
+			<li>House-specific residential timings</li>
+			<li>Acceptable use of technology policy</li>
+			<li>Student government regulations</li>
+			<li>... and possibly more that I've missed.</li>
+		</ul>
+		<p>
+		Then imagine a world where their priorities, presence and interactions are crystal clear.  Not only can students follow them easier, faculty can also have an easier time dealing with situations as there's a clear policy to refer to.
+		</p>
+		<p>
+		(The policies may refer to house-specific guidelines as different houses may have different situations and thus shall not be treated indifferently.  That's definitely better than having no mention of these and leaving everyone to figure that out themselves.)
