Student government, at all levels, including the Student Senate, provides a forum for discussing and making recommendations to the Dean of Students and the appropriate Academic Deans for resolving student concerns, initiating recognition of new student organizations, and conducting reviews of existing student organizations. Student government functions at two levels: (1) the University and (2) the college. The following is a brief description of how student government functions at both levels. Note: The Dean of Students (and Student Activities staff), along with each representative Academic Dean (Deans Office), has jurisdiction over student governing bodies and assists with their parliamentary procedures.
