ABOUT
Mission
The Council holds Exec and the rest of the Government accountable to the undergraduate student body. As the primary representative body of the Association, the Council is responsible for collecting student input and making final decisions on undergraduate opinions on any given issue. The Council shall strive to protect the rights of students and serve to foster cooperation and communication among various segments of the MIT community.
Function
The Council meets bi-weekly in forums of discussion on behalf of and representing the Association. The Council may discuss any topic directly impacting the MIT community. Ultimately, the Council may pass resolutions and pieces of legislation that dictate the definitive undergraduate opinion on any given issue.
Jurisdiction
The Council shall have jurisdiction over all activities that are sponsored by an undergraduate group, including living groups, and that are held on campus outside of a living group area. Within its jurisdiction, the Council may decide any issue except as qualified in the UA Constitution or in the Council's Bylaws.
Accountability
Any student can keep up with the goings-on of Council by adding themselves to ua-council-listeners via Athena or WebMoira. Any email sent to ua-council, which includes all Council members, will also go out to ua-council-listeners. You can also view the Council minutes here.
Discretionary Funding
The Council funds MIT undergraduate initiatives that haven't been funded (or funded sufficiently) from other sources. Generally, this funding is difficult to obtain, so other sources should be investigated first. To apply for funding from Council Discretionary, contact the UA Treasurer.
