Student Government

Student Government Election Spring 2011

Overview

Student Government exists for all three academic divisions of the College: CLAS, College of Liberal Art and Sciences; SGS, School of General Studies; and GSO, Graduate Students Organization. These governmental agencies represent student interests in reviewing, developing, or modifying college policies. They poll members, report their opinions, and represent them on issues that concern them.

Each Brooklyn College student is a member of one of these organizations, which are funded by part of the consolidated fee students pay each time they enroll. Elections are held annually; any matriculated student may seek office. Meetings of the organizations are open to all students. These organizations also sponsor and give funds to associations of students for their yearly activities. The Student Government is divided into three branches: Executive (President and VP), Legislative (29 reps) and Judiciary (3 judges). It also has two political parties: Progressive Hatikvah Downtown (PHD) and United Students Leage (USL). Each party differs in opinions on various issues.
