Whereas, past Council Policies included a reduction in expected hours without a reduction in stipend for the last month of each term to accommodate final exams and projects for Council members;

Whereas these policies were removed from the Policy Manual in 2015 along with the expected hours;

Whereas in 2020 the Board of Directors brought back policies around expected work hours for Executives and Board members to be met semi-monthly;
