Student government consists primarily of the student councils.
Functions
The main functions of student councils are to:
- pursue policy changes important to their constituents (or sometimes not)
- host programming of their own
- oversee and allocate funds to the governing boards, which in turn allocate funds to student groups
The latter function is perhaps the most important. Each spring, at a meeting known as "F@CU", the councils divide out the proceeds of the student life fees between themselves and the governing boards.
List of student councils
The four undergraduate student councils are as follows:
- Columbia College Student Council (CCSC)
- Engineering Student Council (ESC)
- General Studies Student Council (GSSC)
- Barnard's Student Government Association (SGA)[1]
