The Mount Allison Students’ Union is governed by the Students’ Administrative Council (SAC), a democratically elected body of students. Council is responsible for passing policy on behalf of the MASU, for maintaining the bylaws and operating procedures and for providing oversight to the executive and staff.

All meetings are open to the public and we encourage our members to attend. During the summer, council meetings are typically held once a month. During the school year, council meetings occur on a biweekly basis.
