Governance Committee

A little bit about the Committee

The Governance Committee guides the rules and policies of the Guild, and is in charge of interpretation of the Guild Regulations.

Although most students don’t see the work of Governance Committee, it is an essential part of making sure that the Guild functions.

The Committee is responsible for drafting, editing and/or approving nearly all policies or rules that are presented to Guild Council. It is also responsible for ensuring that the Guild’s rules meet the needs of the Guild and are enforced. This includes (but is not limited to) Election Reform, Policy changes, Department Rule changes, and governance recommendations.
