Revision as of 01:23, 11 April 2011

The Student Affairs Committee of the University Senate is the committee that represents student interests. It comprises the 24 voting Senators from the schools of Columbia University (including Barnard and Teachers College) and one non-voting observer from the Union Theological Seminary.

It is also coterminous with and functions as the student caucus or student voting bloc of the University Senate, as all student Senators are automatically members of the Student Affairs Committee. The Student Affairs Committee does not not function as a "super-student council". However, it is primus inter pares and first in the order of precedence of student governance, as it is both the senior body, and the only body at Columbia University representing students across all the schools.

Name

According to the Senate's founding documents, the "Student Affairs Committee" once comprised sixteen students, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. In the mid-1990s, a merger was effected, and the entire twenty-four member body was (somewhat nonsensically) known as the "Student Affairs Caucus" until 2010. In 2010, it was definitively rebranded as the "Student Affairs Committee" to emphasize its open, deliberative nature, as opposed to identifying it strictly as a voting bloc.

Leadership

Due to the requirement and responsibility of the SAC leadership to work across different schools, departments, and campuses, many of SAC's leaders tend to have [w:nerd|multiple Columbia degrees]. Columbia College and Columbia Business School appear to be the most common, although General Studies and the PhD programs are also in there.
