BY-LAW

The GSU was incorporated as a not-for-profit organization in the 90's.  As a result, we are governed by a By-Law and a Policy Document.

By-Law

The by-law governs the operations of the corporation in terms of the executive (board of directors), financial accountability requirements, etc.

The by-law document is available in print form from the GSU, or in PDF form:

* GSU By-law [PDF]

* GSU By-law amendments [PDF]

Policy

The Policy Document governs the operation of the GSU as a representative political body.  The clauses therein have the force of a by-law, but do not require the approval of Governing Council to change.  It includes policy about committee membership, finances, executive honoraria, signing authority, financial arrangements with other organizations (such as OPIRG), etc.

The Policy Document is available in print form from the GSU, or in PDF form:

In addition, the GSU has several standing contracts with businesses housed in the GSU building, with the University of Toronto regarding occupancy of our building, and a Protocol (the "COSS Protocol") affording GSU decision-making power in the administration of U of T Ancillary Services.  These documents can be viewed at the GSU office, upon appointment.
