Bylaws

Bylaws are the primary legislation of the Students' Union and set out the basic legal structure and operational parameters of the Students' Union. Any internally created rule not in accordance with the bylaws is of no force and effect so far as there is a conflict. The bylaws are concerned with major governance issues such as the structure of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the Students' Union as well as its finances. Elections, referenda, faculty associations and access to information are additional areas in which Council has legislated. The process by which bylaws are amended can be found in the Standing Orders of Students' Council.
