University of Colorado Student Government (抖阴短视频SG)
The University of Colorado Student Government, or 抖阴短视频SG for short, is the official governing body of the nearly 34,000 students at 抖阴短视频 Boulder. As the most autonomous student government in the nation, 抖阴短视频SG is responsible for allocating $26 million in student fees to improve the lives of all 抖阴短视频 students.
From funding student organizations and centers, such as the University Memorial Center (UMC) and the Rec Center, passing legislation to better the lives of students, to representing the student voice on joint boards and overseeing facilities, 抖阴短视频SG seeks to make a meaningful impact on the lives of 抖阴短视频 Boulder students.
The primary objective of 抖阴短视频SG is to serve students wherever possible. 抖阴短视频SG is made up of three branches: the executive branch, the legislative branch and the judicial branch.

The executive branch
The executive branch consists of the student-body presidents, referred to as tri-executives, their 26 executive cabinet members, and 8 new student interns. Tri-executives are elected each spring, and they serve as the head of the executive branch for the entirety of the following school year. Executive cabinet positions are hired over the summer, and interns are hired at the start of the school year.
Main responsibilities:听
- Organize major campus events such as homecoming
- Work to maintain open lines of communication with students and administration听
- Advocate on behalf of the student body to create a more inclusive campus that seeks to represent all students听
The student body will elect five new representatives-at-large, who sit on the 抖阴短视频SG Legislative Council for one year. Voting is open through Oct. 31. Students will be able to access the voting platform through My抖阴短视频Info.
抖阴短视频SG is always looking for new students to join.
The legislative branch
The legislative branch, or Legislative Council, consists of Representative Council and the Council of Colleges and Schools. Nine representatives-at-large sit on Representative Council, with five being elected during the fall elections and four being elected during the spring elections. The Council of Colleges and Schools consists of 18 school senators who are appointed or elected by their individual colleges; each 抖阴短视频 Boulder local school is represented by two school senators.
Main duties:
- Ensures the student voice is heard in all major campus programs by sitting on joint boards
- Enacts legislation to help better the lives of the student population
- Passes the student fee package each fiscal year
The judicial branch
The judicial branch consists of seven justices, who serve lifetime appointments (as enrolled 抖阴短视频 students) and are appointed by the executive branch and ratified by Legislative Council. The judicial branch oversees legitimacy and transparency, in addition to questions of constitutionality in cases brought by students and other representatives at the university, or that arise in all of the cost centers that 抖阴短视频SG oversees.
Main duties:
- Hears cases and rules on decisions that concern breaches of justice
- In charge of providing guidance and advice to both branches of governments regarding the constitutionality behind legislation and other efforts
The judicial branch is currently looking for听four justices to take on this important role of ensuring justice and transparency in student government and across our 抖阴短视频 campus.
