By-Laws


By-laws are ordinances made by the members of a corporation or association for the better government of their own body, or for the regulation of their dealings with the public or other bodies (Oxford English Dictionary).  The S.G.A. by-laws are passed by the Student Senate to set rules and standards for their internal operations as well as to govern the student clubs and organizations to which they allocate money.

The S.G.A. by-laws deal fall deal with three issues: student body elections, club/organization operations, and financial regulations.  Click on the links below to access each of these sets of by-laws.

Standard Student Elections Operating Procedures (S.S.E.O.P)
Elections are the fabric of any democratic governing body.  The S.G.A. is, therefore, committed to ensuring the legitimacy and credibility of our elections.  The S.S.E.O.P. contains the rules and procedures intended to achieve those goals by facilitating free, fair, and efficient elections.

Standard Financial Operating Procedures (S.F.O.P.)
The S.G.A. is charged with managing almost $700,000 each year, and we take this responsibility very seriously.  The S.F.O.P. establishes the guidelines and restrictions relating to requests for, and the use of, S.G.A. monies.

Standard Student Club Operating Procedures (S.S.C.O.P.)
Student clubs and organizations are an essential part of campus life at Adelphi.  The S.G.A. governs many of those clubs and organizations, and the SSCOP, specifically, contains the regulations related to their operations. 

The current S.G.A. is committed to creating an environment in which clubs and organizations are given the independence necessary for success while being held accountable for their use of the student activities fees that they receive.  The S.S.C.O.P. is the foundation of club activities and S.G.A.-club relations.

Attendance Policy
The attendance policy was passed by the Student Senate during the 2005 spring semester.  The policy outlines the number of absences permitted for members of the S.G.A. each semester, and the process followed when a member violates the attendance regulations.
