The Simon Fraser Student Society (SFSS) is the students' union of Simon Fraser University in Metro Vancouver, Canada. It was founded after the opening of Simon Fraser University in 1967. The SFSS consists of over 26,000 students, with an annual budget of over one million dollars.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.sfu.ca/analytical-studies/FactBook/factbook.html )〕 Membership is mandatory, and all SFU students as members are charged fees collected by the university on behalf of the SFSS. The organization employs both permanent and student staff, and is located on the second level of the Maggie Benston Centre on SFU's Burnaby Campus. The student society also has an office and provides services at the satellite campus of SFU Surrey with Ed Deeks as the sole staff operating there. The SFSS does not own a student union building but there has been ongoing debates and discussion with the University pertaining to the possibility of including a Student Union Building (SUB) in future reconstruction on the Burnaby Campus. The SFSS operates a copy centre where printing services are provided. Other services also include a soup bar, a coffee shop, a pub, a Women's Centre, and a LGBT Centre on the Burnaby campus. It distributes dayplanners, and provides legal clinics and funding for departmental student unions, campus clubs, social events, academic events and political groups. ==Structure== The Simon Fraser Student Society's Board of Directors produces a website that declares the Board the Society's sole decision-making body and presents Council (formerly "Forum") and a variety of committees as advisory bodies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sfss.ca/society.html )〕 Historically, Council/Forum has been the Society's decision-making body, with the Board split off from Forum in 2000. Before 2002, Forum (now "Council") was the Society's decision-making body. Council is composed of elected representatives from all of the Departmental Student Unions and the constituent groups (Out On Campus, Women's Centre, First Nations Student Association, Residence Hall Association, and Students United for Disability Supports). The Board of Directors are Honorary Members of Forum as per the constitution of the Society. Following the concentration of power in the Board, Council is responsible for advising the Board on a variety of issues relevant to students and acting as a watchdog of the Board. The Board of Directors is composed entirely of representatives elected directly by students. The Board is responsible for, and exercises full control over the affairs of the Society. In addition, it is the only recognized medium of communication between its members, the University and the general public. The Board meets bi-weekly year-round. Since the creation of the SFSS in 1967, it has represented graduate and undergraduate students with one Society. However, during the Spring 2007 election, Graduate Students voted to form their own society separate from the SFSS. This is the Graduate Students Society (GSS) at Simon Fraser University. The expected start date for full separation is May 1, 2008. Like many student unions in BC, the SFSS also relies heavily on a permanent staff, who hold various bureaucratic positions and help assist board members and in some cases assist in the development of policy. SFSS staff are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees Local 3338 after a merger from Local 5396. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Fraser Student Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
