Primary Responsibilities:
- Overseeing the maintenance, renovation of the SUB. If there’s something wrong with the building, or any other issues relating to AMS buildings, that’s it.
- Chairing the Impacts committee, which handles sustainability
- Planning the Student Leadership Conference
- Oversee SAC – Student Administrative Commission. SAC is responsible for:
- Communicating with clubs, and organizing their activities
- Regulating clubs, and organizing clubs days
- Liaising with bookings of SUB space
The typical contentious issues include:
- Controversial bookings/use of space. For instance, the annual “Genocide Awareness Project” or Israel/Palestine forums
- Access to SUB spaces, and ensuring that students have access to the space
- Balancing needs in renovating spaces. How to make the Conversation Pit more appealing, for example?
- Ensuring that clubs don’t get too much of a run-around from the AMS, yet ensuring they’re accountable and follow the rules.
- Trying to make sure everybody has a chance to book the SUB.
