This month in brief

What’s the governance review, again?

Over the past several years, we have noticed some governance issues which inhibit students’ effective control over WUSA, including an increasing complexity of process, a lack of clarity of responsibility between Students’ Council and the Board, a ‘scope creep’ of these bodies, and chronic burnout of student executives who are placed in the middle of this system without the support to succeed.

On February 6, Students’ Council held a first reading for a new set of bylaws. Legal counsel and the governance consultants were present to answer councilors’ questions on the draft document.
