Student Union Polity

The Student Union Polity or just Polity was a student government organization umbrella organization relating to student activities. Just in case the name didn't sound weird enough, Polity also had a "Programming Ganglion." It was formed as a result of a shake-up in student activities governance which ended in the dissolution of the Fourth Floor Cabinet, and the CCCSO, and a reduction in the powers of the Board of Managers.

In October 1992, CCSC treasurer Imara Jones proposed eliminating Polity as being redundant with the Joint Budgetary and Calendaring Committee established by CCSC and ESC.
