AUSU Bylaw Revisions
On September 12 at 5:30pm MT, AUSU Council will be voting on the first reading of an updated version of AUSU bylaws.
You can view the proposed bylaws draft here.
AUSU is a statutory corporation, established by the Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta. The Act requires that the elected student representatives create bylaws for the organization.
These revisions are a recommendation of your AUSU council, following over one year of research, discussion, and drafting, and they aim to:
ensure compliance with the Post-Secondary Learning Act of Alberta;
safeguard the health of AUSU as an organization well into the future; and
capture the spirit of the existing Bylaws, while offering enhanced direction and transparency.
