The SLC Bylaws
The faculty representatives are the bridge between the SLC and the Faculty Assembly. They convey the concerns and issues raised during Faculty Assemblies regarding student activities to the SLC meetings and vice versa. Furthermore, faculty representatives help the Clubs and Societies in finding or selecting their faculty advisors.
At its first meeting, the SLC elects its chairperson, vice-chair and secretary.
The elected chairperson must be a previous member of the SLC, and will automatically become a member of the University Disciplinary and Conduct Board.
The representatives must have previous experience in Clubs and Societies, unless otherwise specified by the Student Life Office (SLO).
The recorder is chosen by the SLO. He/she is in charge of recording the minutes and updating the Student Life web pages. The recorder will be in constant contact with the Clubs' and Societies' secretaries and seek information from them for updating the activities calendar.
The SLC will have regular weekly meetings at the Student Life Committee Meeting Hall (Philibosian Student Center, room 307). Emergency meetings may be called upon the request of the SLO.
The chairpersons, representatives, and secretaries of the Clubs and Societies will meet on a monthly basis to discuss their general concerns related to the clubs, societies and teams and their activities.
The SLC selects student representatives for the Library and Recruitment Committees.
The SLC may establish ad-hoc committees to implement certain events.
During the last SLC meeting, students will evaluate the year's student activities in general and the SLC meetings, after handing in their Club and SLC evaluation forms.
All financial transactions are done only through memorandums issued by the SLO and undersigned by the Student Life Director. The HU Business Office will consider only those requests that come from the SLO.
