It has recently been brought to the attention of Student Senators that there is much to be learned about us and about student access to the meetings of the organizations of which we are a part. Student government begins at the school level each school or college has its own student council and elects its own Student Senator to represent student interests on University-wide issues being addressed by the University Senate.
School councils meet regularly in accordance with calendars and rules they develop for themselves.
Information about attending school council meetings can be obtained by contacting the councils directly. Guest passes for meetings of the University Senate may be obtained by contacting individual Senators. The first part is a one-hour meeting for members only, which is immediately followed by a public meeting of the Senators with the presidents of the undergraduate, graduate, and professional school councils. Any NYU student is welcome to attend meetings of the UCSL to talk with Senators and school council presidents after the regular business has been concluded. UCSL meetings are held on Thursdays at 5 p.m. in Room 107 at 12 Waverly Place.
