SLC also delegates authority to different committees to ensure it maintains transparency and efficient functioning.
Previously, they were a member of Council of Alberta University Students on the provincial level.
The SU operates MacEwan Student Centre and has services including Bound and Copied (the campus copy centre and cheap book store), Stör (a convenience store), the Den and Black Lounge (a full-service restaurant and bar), the Campus Food Bank, “Mac Hall" concert facilities, and MacEwan Conference and Event Centre within the building.
The proceeds of these operations are reinvested directly into SU student programs, awards, and events.
In the past, the University wanted to treat the SU as tenants, as opposed to the partial owners of the building, and the University the sole owners but the SU refused because it would lower their revenue and not allow them to decide what the building is used for.
