Residence Hall Council or Community Council: Each Residence Hall Council or Community Council will have a vote based on the Hall Representatives within that council. Each Hall Representative will have one vote at General Body Meeings. A council may send more than one member to represent the Representative Council but the vote will always remain with the Hall Representative. The voting body is the Representative Council.

Residential Leadership Council: Each Residential Leadership Council will have a Hall Representative for every hall that comprises that RLC. That Hall Representative is required to attend General Body meetings and will retain the vote for their hall. The individual(s) must currently live in the hall to which their vote is representing, unless a proxy vote is approved by the RLC President and RLC Advisor.

Representative Council Headcount: The Representative Council Headcount will be determined by Housing and Residence Life’s Residence Hall Council or Community Council structure for the current academic year.

• Have speaking privileges in all RSA General Body meetings, including any sub-groups or committee meetings
