Responsibility
To review all aspects of student services supported in whole or in part by the Student Services Fee.
To advise the vice-president, academic & provost on:
- proposals for increases, decreases or redistribution of services and funds in connection with student services supported in whole or in part by the Student Services Fee;
- the adequacy of these student services by conducting periodic reviews of the functions of student service units* supported in whole or in part by the Student Services Fee;
- the amount of the Student Services Fee.
To encourage open discussion and debate about student services and proposed fee changes.
Philosophy
The SSAC will be sensitive to the fact that the student is both primary client and funding source for student services. The SSAC will be particularly sensitive to the balance between the desirability of a service and its financial cost to the student.
With respect to decision making, SSAC will endeavour to achieve consensus. However, should consensus on a matter before the committee not be reached:
- the matter will be decided by a majority of the votes of members present; and
- the results of the vote, rationale behind the decision, conflicting views, and relative degree of support by students and administrators will be forwarded to the vice-president, academic & provost, as appropriate.
Membership
SSAC will consist of seven student representatives, four senior administrators, and one resource person (the director of finance) as follows:
- the president of the Federation of Students,
- the vice-president, internal of the Federation of Students
- the president of the Graduate Students Association
- three undergraduate students appointed by the president of the Federation of Students
- one graduate student appointed by the president of the Graduate Student Association
- the vice-president, administration & finance
- the associate provost, resources, who will chair the committee
