The Board of Business will prepare all matters concerning the JYY Group, shared ownerships, and especially matters considering investing, owning, building and long-term loans for deliberation in the executive board of the student union. The Board of Business will make decisions and execute all matters in which JYY’s Council of Representatives has decided to transfer authority on in the student union’s budget.
