Faculty Council

What is the Faculty Council? 

The Faculty Council is a subcommittee comprised of elected graduate students acting as a conduit between their faculty, and the Board and Representative Council at GSA. Their role is to advise the GSA Board and Representative Council about service delivery, representation and policy work relative to their respective faculties. 

The Faculty Council will comprise one graduate student from each faculty who are elected by other graduate students in their faculty. 

As per the clause 6.3(a)(ii) of the electoral regulations, only those members who belong to a particular faculty may stand to represent that faculty.

Faculty Council Members serve as representatives and advocates for students of their respective faculty. They work closely with the Board and Representative Council, as well as engage with graduate students, University contacts and student groups as appropriate.
