The Legislative Branch (Assembly)

The Legislative Branch consists of a legislative body known as the Assembly. The Assembly is made up of elected student representatives from each college, as well as University-wide representatives, within the University. Its job is to pass legislation to represent the official voice of the student body and define official Student Government policies, positions, and stances in matters directly affecting students per the constitution and governing documents.

The Assembly meets regularly during the academic year and is chaired by the Speaker of the Assembly. The Assembly has various committees that focus on specific areas of student life and interests, such as academic affairs, governmental affairs, financial affairs and student affairs. Each of these committees are headed by a committee chair, and those committee chairs make up the Assembly Board.
