Committees

Policy

The Policy Committee is responsible for overseeing the development of legislative initiatives aimed at creating change at the University of Texas at Austin. This committee provides an opportunity for Moody students to express their opinions and concerns and work together to draft resolutions or bills that have an impact on the University. Once a majority vote is achieved among CC members, the legislation is passed on to the Senate of College Councils for further review and implementation. If you have a policy suggestion for how to improve academic life at UT, please use this link to submit it for consideration.
