Minutes of the University Senate, December 14, 1970 3089

APPENDIX G
INTERLOCKING STUDENT GOVERNMENT WITH THE UNIVERSITY SENATE

All regular student members of the University Senate shall be members
of the Student Senate (or, as it is now called, Assembly). The
Student Government President would continue to be elected in a
campus—wide election, as at present, and would ex officio be a fully
participating member in the University Senate. The functions of the
Presidency within Student Government itself would be taken over by

a Student Executive Committee. This body would be composed of the
President of Student Government, who would be its chairman and its
delegate to the Board of Trustees (unless he was not a state resident),
the three student members of the University Senate Council, and the
Speaker of the Student Senate (to be selected from that body just

as the Speaker of the Assembly is currently). Such a body would
promote better explanation of the diversity of student opinion and
provide the basis for more manpower in discharging the many duties

of the Student Government Presidency. The Student Executive Committee
would be empowered with creation of a cabinet along the lines of the
present system.

 

It should be noted that this plan could easily be joined with the
plan for interlocking student representation in the University
Senate with the Student Advisory Councils, if established. The
advantages of representation achieved there would carry over into
advantages over the current residence system of representation in
the Student Government.

The Senate approved a motion to adjourn at 5:30 p.m.
