GOVERNANCE

General Council

The highest, regularly convening, governing body of the SUS is the General Council, commonly referred to as GC.

GC convenes every two weeks and is comprised of the entire SUS Executive committee, the three Science representatives to SSMU, the one Science Senator, and one representative from each of our 19 departments. Meetings are run by the Speaker of Council and follow Robert’s Rules of Order.

The General Council is responsible for adopting the Society’s By-Laws and departmental Constitutions, as well as approving Council generated questions for referenda and General Assemblies.
