The SLC is governed by several documents. The ASLBCC Constitution outlines the basic form of student government and its policies and may be changed only by a vote of the student body, the Associated Students of Linn-Benton Community College (ASLBCC). The SLC bylaws provide more specific information -- job descriptions for student representatives, election rules, and other guidelines for business and policies -- and can be changed at any SLC public meeting. In addition to the constitution and bylaws, the SLC and LBCC have agreed to participate in a memorandum of understanding outlining the expectations of each party.
