Student Association Charter

The Student Association Charter is the founding document which establishes the SVSU Student Association. It serves as the Association’s most senior governing document, and it establishes and describes the Association’s duties and offices.

"'The business of the Association shall, in all matters, be governed by this Charter…' —Article I, Section 2, Subsection 3"

The current Charter was approved by the SVSU Student Government Senate on Feb. 15, 1996, approved by the SVSU student body on Feb. 22, 1996, and was ratified at the March 4, 1996 meeting of the SVSU Board of Control.

The Charter has been amended various times throughout the years. Amendments require a two-thirds vote of the Association, a student body-wide vote, approval from the SVSU President and the SVSU Board of Control.
