How is the AUS governed?
The AUS is governed by a Constitution. The day-to-day tasks of the AUS are managed by the Executive Committee of the AUS, which is made up of a President and the Vice-Presidents Academic, Finance, Internal, External, and Communications. The Executive Committee reports to the AUS Council, which must approve all AUS spending and policy. Meetings of the AUS Council are public, so you can see what’s going on just by showing up. The AUS Council also includes various sub-committees, which look into specific matters: the Financial Management Committee discusses all budgetary and spending concerns; the Constitution and By-Law Review Committee discusses proposed changes to the AUS Constitution and By-Laws; …. You can see how the AUS fits in with the other student governments on campus in chart form.
