Senate & the Board of Governors
Senate
McGill Senate handles the policies and guidelines governing all academic activities at the University. Composed of professors, students, administrators and union members, Senate represents the McGill community as a whole. This is where students have the most political influence, so let your Student Senators know what matters to you!
Although audience members cannot speak on the floor of Senate, your presence is an important way to remind Senators that they must represent the needs of the greater McGill community. You can check out Senate meetings in Leacock 232 at 14:30, one Wednesday a month. For a full schedule: www.mcgill.ca/senate/senate2011-2012
Board of Governors
The Board of Governors is described as the governing body of the University. Relatively controversial, the Board has final authority on all “administrative” issues and decisions at the McGill. SSMU has only one member on this body.
