Until recently, a quorum of 500 members was required to make any changes to the Student Society's bylaws and constitution at the Society's annual general meeting (AGM). As the university has approximately 28,000 students, this means that only 2% of student population is needed to make wide-reaching changes with regards to the SFSS. Despite the seemingly low requirement, quorum has been unattainable most years. In 2005, this led the Society to propose a change to the bylaw for quorum from 500 to 100, which ultimately failed.
