Welcome to the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Student Council
The ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Student Council (ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC) is one of four councils established
during the restructuring of higher education in ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø in 1988. The ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC represents the
over 166,000 students in the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø's 12 institutions and 3 regional
higher education centers.
Created to advise the Chancellor, the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC derives its authority from the Board of Regents.
The primary function of the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC is to advise the Chancellor, Board of Regents, and elected
officials on issues, matters, and policies having a direct bearing on students and student
affairs in the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø.
The Council has, in the past, provided input on issues ranging from tuition policy to SAT
score reporting and academic advising. In keeping with its proactive nature, the Council
will propose new policies and policy changes to both the Chancellor and the Board of Regents,
as well as review other proposed plans. Among the specific responsibilities of the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC is
the recommendation to the Chancellor each year, for transmittal to the Governor, of a group
of nominees for the position of ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø Student Regent.
Each degree-granting institution in the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø has two representatives on the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC. The ϡȱÁÔÆæÍøSC
meets monthly throughout the school year, and its meetings rotate among system campuses. The
meetings function as a network for sharing ideas and concerns of general interest to students.
The Council transmits to the Chancellor its majority and minority views on behalf of its
constituent student bodies. Thus, helping to ensure that the ϡȱÁÔÆæÍø leadership is aware of students'
perspectives and responsive to students' concerns and issues.
