The WUSA Council holds regular meetings within the year to formally make decisions, as well as discuss multiple topics, including Association affairs, issues that affect students, and the progress of WUSA campaigns or programs, among others.
As these are publicly and democratically held meetings, all undergraduate students are welcome and encouraged to attend, and can be notified of upcoming meetings upon request via the WUSA email.
After each WUSA Council meeting, the General Secretary provides a written record of the discussion, attendance, decisions, and any other related outcomes of the relevant meeting; these are called the meeting minutes.
WUSA publishes each of these meeting minutes to serve as an official and public record, ensuring the utmost accountability and transparency of the Association to the undergraduate student.
