Our definition of success is to be
totally public
The Core
Team: administrative / co-coordinating roles, including, but not
limited to: student co-coordinator, space finder, course-coordinator, zine
editor, web administrator, and supply director. In short, the core group keeps
the wheels spinning, and co-ordinates volunteers. Each member of the core group
is responsible to mentor a, of team of, successor(s) within a 6 month period.
An individual must be a part of the student union to become a member of the
core team. In this way, we stay fluid and collective.
Student
Union: anyone can become a member. All they have to do is attend
two meetings, and put in 4 hours of volunteer work. We have meetings once every
other week. Safe space guidelines apply; must agree to overall principles of
free skule. There will also be a volunteer orientation meeting every week, or
on a needs basis.
Proposals: Anyone can make a new proposal, member or visitor.
Major decisions must be proposed at least 1 week in advance. Other proposals
can be made on the fly. Proposals that cannot easily be amended go to an ad hoc
committee or the authoring group to be re-worked and represented at the next
meeting
Decision-Making: We start with full consensus. If, after much discussion, there
are over 50% stand-asides or 10% blocks, we move to 90%. For major decisions,
everyone must be present; quorum fluctuates with importance of decision.
Different types of decisions have different decision-making processes. Changes
to core documents require full participation and a super majority, while
regular decisions require quorum and a simple majority; and decisions that are
made and executed by a working group only need to be communicated to the larger
whole
Courses: anyone can
teach. Each course becomes an affinity group - responsible for its own development; it must be approved
by the student union with regular updates at least once a month.
