AUS Legislative Council meets biweekly during the academic year, and is the legislative governing body of the Arts Undergraduate Society, subordinate only to the AUS General Assembly. Legislative Council meetings are open to the public, unless a confidential session is declared.

Voting membership on AUS Council includes the AUS Executive, the Arts Senators, a representative from each of the AUS’ departmental associations, a representative from FEARC (the AUS’s first-year committee), the AUS Equity Commissioners, and a representative from AUSec (the AUS Environmental Council), a representative from ACE (the Arts Community Engagement Committee), and a representative from EPIC (the AUS Event Planning and Implementation Committee).

AUS Council operates under a modified version of Robert’s Rules of Order so that meetings can occur in an organized and efficient fashion. Most decisions of AUS Council are made by way of motions submitted to and approved by AUS Council.
