Faculty Handbook
Chapter III: Organization and Governance
STUDENT COUNCIL
The Student Council will consider academic matters and
any other matters that relate to being a student in the School
of Medicine and/or the Graduate School. The Student Council
will make recommendations via its Steering Committee to the
Dean. The Steering Committee of the Student Council will hold
two joint meetings per year with the Steering Committee of
the Faculty Council. The agenda of these joint meetings will
relate to issues of mutual interest to students and faculty.
If faculty input is desired at other times, the President
of the Student Council may request time for presentation at
an additional meeting of the Steering Committee of the Faculty
Council or at a meeting of the Faculty Council. Such requests
will be made to the President of the Faculty Council.
The Student Council will be composed of twenty elected
representatives: four from the Graduate School and four from
each of the four Medical School classes. All elections will
be completed by the end of the fourth week of each academic
year. The Council will meet monthly during the academic year.
Each representative will have one vote. All votes of the Student
Council will be by show of hands unless there is a request
for a secret ballot.
At the first meeting of each academic year the twenty representatives
of the Student Council will elect a President, Vice-President
and three additional representatives to serve on a Steering
Committee. The five member Steering Committee will represent
the Graduate School and each of the four classes in the Medical
School. During the academic year the Steering Committee will
meet monthly with the Dean.
