History--Biography
The Student Union Government, the system of self- government by the
undergraduate students of Brandeis University, started in 1949.
Presently, the Student Union Government is composed of an Executive
Board, which includes the President, Vice-President, Treasurer,
Secretary, Executive Senator, Executor of Union Affairs, Communications
Director, Events Director, and Union Advocate; the Student Senate, which
includes two senators from each class, one from each residential quad,
two Senators At Large, one Senator for Racial Minority Students, and the
Senate President (also the Union Vice-President); an Allocations Board;
and the Union Judiciary, comprised of 5 student justices. From 1949 when
the Student Union Government started until 1972, it was composed of a
Student Council, with Executive officers (President, Vice-President,
Secretary, and Treasurer), four elected members of the senior class,
three members of the junior and sophomore classes, two members of the
freshman class, and one commuter. From 1972 until about 1990, the
Government consisted of the Executive Board (President, Vice- President,
Treasurer), the Senate, which had four senators from each class, the
Student Judiciary, which had five justices, and two representatives to
the Board of Trustees.
