Whereas it is important to have Constituency representatives at the table for matters that may impact their constituents directly on the various committees;

Whereas the SFSS has an accessibility committee that must be formed that deals with matters of accessibility and approve grant requests;

Whereas DNA is the recognized constituency group that represents issues relating to accessibility, neurodiversity and disability justice on campus;

Be it resolved to amend the Council Policies SO-11 to add the following under the Composition subsection (below 11.4):

Composition

1. [Ex-Officio] President

2. [Chairperson] VP Equity and Sustainability Executive Officer as designated by Council; or, on recommendation of the Committee, another member of the Committee

3. Four Councillors

4. up to two representatives of the Disability and Neurodiversity Alliance (DNA)

5. Minimum 2, up to 4 at-large members

6. Up to 1 DNA Councillor Representative (ie: optional on if the councillor representative accepts the nomination and appointment)”
