Background |
 The
undergraduate governing body at Lafayette is the Student Government. It
has principal responsibility in the following areas: forming policy for
student activities, recognizing and dispensing funds to various student
organizations, and maintaining contact between students, faculty, administration,
and the Board of Trustees. These communications are facilitated by the
appointment of students to serve on faculty committees and on five committees
of the Board of Trustees. The president of student government attends
full meetings of the trustees.
All Lafayette students in good standing are eligible for election to Student Government. Elections are held in November. In addition to president and vice-president, five representatives each are elected from the first-year, sophomore, and junior classes. The secretary and treasurer are elected by the new group. Meetings of the Student Government are open to all members of the Lafayette community. Meeting times of all standing Student Government committees are made public, and interested parties are welcome to attend. The Student Government office is on the ground level of the Farinon College Center. For the full constitution, see “Lafayette College Student Government Constitution.” Student interest
and opinion is sought at all levels of college governance. Students
on faculty committees, most of whom have voting privileges, are invited
to attend meetings of the whole faculty. The student members of trustee
committees also have full voting power. |
