AUSU Bylaw Revisions

AUSU council will be voting on revised bylaws during the January council meeting to make it more accessible for Athabasca University students to run in the AUSU election. AUSU is proposing these changes now so that students who want to run in the upcoming 2020 AUSU election can do so without worrying about requirements that have been a barrier in the past for otherwise qualified members.
View the proposed bylaw changes on our website here.
In accordance with the current bylaws, AUSU will arrange numerous ways for the membership to provide feedback on the new bylaws.
Ways to Provide Feedback:
- 2 Membership Consultations by teleconference
- 2 Public Readings of the Bylaws
- Online Forum for discussion
Upon a successful vote at the second public reading on January 16, the proposed amendments to the bylaws will become official.
Visit our website here for more information on the bylaw revisions and membership consultations.
Please email governance@ausu.org with any questions.
