ACJC and the Students' Association
 

ACJC also functions as a supreme court within the Students’ Association government. The SA Constitution grants the All-Campus Judicial Council the authority to interpret and review the actions of the Student Association Senate, organizations, and the student body. For example, the council has recently been required to decide several cases related to the Senate elections. In so doing, ACJC interprets the SA Constitution and its bylaws to determine the appropriate outcome, based on the preexisting rules of the Student Association. Decisions of ACJC are not subject to review or reversal by the SA Senate or President.

If you believe the actions of the SA President, the Cabinet, the Senate, or any of its committees (including SAAC) have harmed you or your organization through a violation of the SA Constitution or its bylaws, you can contact the All-Campus Judicial Council for redress of your grievances.

All Students’ Association hearings are open to all members of the University community.
