| WORKSHOP ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF TERMS OF REFERENCE AND FINANCIAL AUTONOMY BY STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL |

Good Day to All USM Citizens💜

On 13th August 2024, the Workshop on the Development of the Terms of Reference and Financial Autonomy by Student Representative Council was held, involving various responsible centers, the University Legal Office, the Division of Student Affairs & Alumni Development USM (BHEPA), the USM Treasury Department, and the USM Student Representative Council from all USM campuses. Also present was Professor Dr. Shaharum Bin Shamsuddin, Deputy Vice-Chancellor of BHEPA.

The purpose of this workshop was to produce and finalize the Financial Management Regulations by the Student Representative Council or Student Union and Student Bodies, in support of amendments to AUKU 1971, granting greater autonomy to students. We, as the SRC, ensure autonomy for students in financial management, but at the same time, with advice and guidance from various departments to ensure USM students comply with university laws and to prevent any misuse of power by USM students.

Thank You.
