TRANSPARENCY COMMITMENT

The UPUA by its mission and authority recognizes the necessity of open and transparent proceedings and records. As such the UPUA Assembly strives to fully disclose all relevant discussions, decisions, and documents pertaining to the student body to ensure that all students can monitor and have access to their student government and ensure that the UPUA Assembly is accountable to those we represent….the undergraduate student body of University Park.

The UPUA is required to hold all meeting open and advertised in advance as well as publish minutes and legislation (See Assembly Bylaws §§ 2.3.5, §4.10, and Constitution §§ 8.1.4). If there are questions or problems please contact UPUA Secretary Annie Fiscus [alf5143@psu.edu]
