 STUDENT LIFE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION Upon enrollment, all full-time students automatically become members of the Student Government Association, the organization that represents all students in planning, organizing, and directing major campus programs for the student body. The Student Government Association provides an early experience in self-government that serves as a useful background for later public service. Because the University encourages student participation in the affairs of the school, students are appointed to serve on many university committees. Such students are nominated by the Student Government Association Executive Council and the Office of Student Development and appointed by the president of the University. Leaders of Student Government work to represent the student body as well as to develop pride in and loyalty to their alma mater. An elected Executive Council and Legislative Assembly perform most of the work of the Student Government Association. The Judicial Council studies and rules on interpretations of the Student Government Association Constitution and serves as part of the process for disciplinary cases involving student behavior and conduct. Responsibility for the maintenance of discipline is the joint responsibility of the students, the faculty, and the administration. The Student Government Association consists of three divisions: EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, composed of President, Vice President, and Secretary. STUDENT SENATE, composed of the Vice President of the Student Government Association and 40 Senators elected at large. Ten senate seats are reserved for freshmen. JUDICIAL COUNCIL, composed of five members who are full-time
students and who have the grade point average required by the standard
procedures for the operations of the Student Government Association
as adopted by the Senate. |
