November 5, 2009 71LCB#05- Education Student Government

Sponsored by: Will Taylor Speaker of Representative Council

W. Andrew Lanius Chair, Council of Colleges and Schools

Authored By: Will Taylor Speaker of Representative Council

Bill History

As a specification of the Council of Colleges and Schools by-laws and a mandate within the Legislative Council by-laws, each University of Colorado-Boulder college and school should have legislative representation in the form of one or two senators. Whereas there currently is neither an internal student government for the School of Education nor a senatorial representative for the school, Legislative Council must act to institute both.

The predicament presented by the current lack of representation for the School of Education lies in the fact that without an internal student government, there can be no elected representative for the school and with no representative to initiate the development of the internal student government, there can be no internal government. This catch-22 requires the intervention of Legislative Council to resolve the perpetuation of this fault.

This bill grants Will Krebs the position of Senator for the School of Education under the stipulation that he would work with the School of Education’s administrators and fellow UCSU staff to craft and develop an internal student government for the School of Education. Mr. Krebs’s primary role will be to serve as a senator for the school and to spearhead the creation of the internal student government for the School of Education.
