Legislature

The legislative branch of the Student Senate consists of a 39-member unicameral body, composed of a mixture of elected and appointed seats. The majority of senators represent the student body at large, and are assigned to serve on a college committee. A small number of senators are elected to represent special constituencies.

The legislature convenes on a weekly basis during the academic year, or in special circumstances, when the Executive Board calls an emergency meeting. They collectively vote on and approve all legislation, including resolutions, bills, and constitutional amendments. To learn more about the role and duties of the legislature, visit Article V of the Student Senate Constitution
