Student Union

Hi everyone,

Constitutional Council has created a formalized timeline, in which constituents who submit a grievance should expect decisions and formal opinions to be released within 6 weeks. Grievances are considered on a first come, first serve basis, except for rare circumstances deemed exigent by the Council, in which case a grievance may be handled more speedily. If a grievance is received within six weeks of the end of a semester, the grievance process may be slowed or put on hold until the following semester.

Hey everyone,

Applications for the Alternate Justice position in Constitutional Council are due September 23rd! To recap:

Constitutional Council is currently looking for 1-2 alternate justices. Constitutional Council, the main body of the Judicial Branch of Student Union,  reviews grievances about Constitutional questions submitted by students, mediates disputes between officers of Student Union, and generally ensures that Student Union officers follow the SU Constitution and Statutes.

Attached to this blog post is the application. If you have any questions about the position, the body or the application, please feel free to email judicial@su.wustl.edu.

We are in the process of transferring decisions over to the new website. For those who want to be more informed on the legislation currently looked at, here is the Majority decison:

The Constitution and Statutes are completely up to date with everything that has been added this year. As always, feel free to read it and talk to us with any concerns.

Associate Justice Taylor
