Senate Committees


The SA Senate Committees are divided into two categories: Mandatory Committees and Regular Committees. Mandatory Committees are established in the SA Constitution and carry certain restrictions regarding membership. Regular Committees are established by the Senate based on necessity. They are somewhat less formal than the mandatory committees. Any Student Association member is eligible to join an SA committee.
