Council and constitution

Constitution

The constitution outlines the general proceedings governing the PhGA, its responsibilities, goals and governance.

As such, it is eligible for complete or partial review when the presiding council and/or majority student vote necessitates such as review. Newly elected council members are also required to review the constitution soon after their appointment.

Any questions, comments or concerns about the constitution need to be addressed to the presiding VP Student Affairs.

Elections for council positions will take place during Spring term of each year
