Student Affairs Committee

2014-04-08T13:11:55Z

Ttan:

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 College|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'' function as a "super-student council". However, it is [[w:primus inter pares|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. Student members, therefore, are subject to very high standards and expectations.<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/committeepages/standards&expectations_sac.pdf Standards and Expectations for Student Senators]</ref>

== Name ==

According to the Senate's founding documents, the "Student Affairs Committee" once comprised a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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.

As a vehicle and organ for representing the students of all schools at the University, it is in a sense the successor to the [[Columbia University Student Council]]. Unlike the Council, however, which was a toothless advisory organ, SAC members are full voting members of the University Senate, with equal voting power to faculty and administrator members.

== 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/archives/reports_archive/10-11/sac_boardofvisitors_statutes_2011.pdf Statutes of the Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee]</ref>

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

=== Current Board ===

The seated Board of Visitors is as follows.

CC-SEAS relationship

2013-04-25T02:08:34Z

Ttan:

[[File:Ccseas.png|frame|At least one stereotypical difference between CC and SEAS, cleverly summarized]]

[[Columbia College]] and the [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science | Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS)]] are the two undergraduate schools for traditional college students at Columbia. Due to the way the University has evolved and its current structure, the divisions between the two schools have historically been unnecessarily played up, though this trend appears to be passing. Typically CC and SEAS students get over their differences and respective complexes quickly.

While both schools are academically independent entities within the University, the undergraduates of the schools are administered under a joint office which essentially forges a single student body. CC and SEAS students live, eat, and study together at Columbia.

The [[Division of Student Affairs]], headed by Dean [[Kevin Shollenberger]], oversees admissions, [[Advising|advising]], financial aid, student programming and activities, [[Office of Residential Programs|residential programs]], the scholars program, study abroad, pre-professional advising, and more for both [[Columbia College|CC]] and [[SEAS]]. They are your administrative shepherd for your undergraduate years.

== Issues ==

=== US News and World Report statistics ===
For years Columbia only reported the statistics of Columbia College to US News and World Report for their annual rankings of the "Best Colleges". This seemed to imply that SEAS wasn't considered part of the general undergraduate body. However, since 2006 US News has been using the combined statistics for both schools, and the Admissions office has been reporting statistics for the schools jointly as well, rendering this point moot. It should be noted that while CC has a lower overall admit rate, SEAS admits tend to have a higher average SAT score.

Despite the official trend towards statistical unification, the [[Spectator]] and various publications will "headline" only the College's admission rate, while mentioning SEAS's statistics separately in the body of the article. Often this is to make erroneous and misguided comparisons about having the "lowest rate in the ivy league."

With the recent move towards putting the "official stamp" on the combined statistics of the schools rather than privileging those of the College, publications are starting to catch on.

=== Flags ===

[[Image:BHW7-hDCQAAfokP.png|thumb|Cartoon from the March 2013 issue of ''[[The Blue and White]]'']]

The flags and flagpoles on the South Lawn were a gift a CC alumnus, who supposedly stipulated that the flagpoles be used only for [[Columbia College]] flags. There have been reports, however, of witnessing SEAS flags on those poles during [[Days on Campus]], so nobody knows how much truth, if any, there is to this rumor. Efforts by the [[Engineering Student Council]] to remedy this by placing one SEAS flag in the area have been uniformly unsuccessful so far.

The counter-argument to this complaint is that the flags fly on Hamilton Lawn, in front of [[Hamilton Hall]], the home of [[Columbia College]], while a SEAS flag flies in the plaza in front of [[Mudd]], home of SEAS. Of course there are limitations to this argument since the line between both schools is blurred—the undergraduate admissions office which handles applications for both schools is also located in Hamilton Hall.

This was most recently brought up in AY 2012-13 by then-ESC president Tim Qin, whose efforts were noted by an illustrator of ''[[The Blue and White]]''.

=== Student council funding and territoriality ===
[[CCSC|Columbia College]] and [[ESC|SEAS]] have their own respective student governments, with class councils for each year of each class as well. While this makes some sense especially for the engineers who tend to have concerns and issues as engineering students that vary from many of their liberal arts and sciences peers, [[ESC]] officers have often complained that [[CCSC]] typically gets a disproportionately large share of student life funding. However, the funding for the student councils is done in proportion to the number of undergraduates in that college. This means that [[Columbia College Student Council|CCSC]] receives about three times as much funding as does ESC, as Columbia College has about three times the number of students.

In 2006, CC '07 Class President David Chait raised the idea of merging CCSC and ESC.<ref>[http://www.columbiaspectator.com/2006/03/21/combined-forces Combined Forces - The Spectator, 3-21-06]</ref> This idea has been brought up from time to time, but has yet to come to fruition.

== School of General Studies ==
Unlike [[CC]] and [[SEAS]], [[GS]] has a completely separate administration. This is a result of, and results in a variety of complications with regards to GS. In 2007, talks of a GS-CC merger surfaced. '''See Main Article, [[School of General Studies]].

Student councils

2013-04-25T02:04:30Z

Ttan:

A '''student council''' is an organized group of students, charged with various responsibilities including:
* Funding and sponsorship of student events
* Governance and oversight of student clubs and activities
* Representation of the student perspective in some policy issues

Student councils usually exist at the pleasure of a specific school's respective dean of student affairs. At the option of senior administrators, they are sometimes consulted on certain issues, but otherwise have no statutory powers in the governance and administration of the university.

The student council structure of Columbia calls for a specific student council for each of the four undergraduate schools at Columbia. Each school ([[CC]], [[SEAS]], [[GS]], [[BC]]) has its own student council, each of which is free to function in its own specific way, including individual by-laws, constitutions, and election procedures.

While technically separate, the four councils collaborate on a great many projects, including many of the events that are known as campus traditions, such as the [[Tree Lighting Ceremony|tree lighting]] ceremony and the events surrounding [[homecoming]].

An attempt was made in 2013 to [[2013 CCSC-ESC merger referendum|merge the CCSC and ESC]].

The four undergraduate councils are the [[Columbia College Student Council]], the [[Engineering Student Council]], the [[General Studies Student Council]], and the [[Student Government Association]] at Barnard.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/archives/reports_archive/10-11/sac_boardofvisitors_statutes_2011.pdf Statutes of the Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee]</ref>

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

=== Current Board ===

The seated Board of Visitors is as follows.

Miwa Kai

Ttan:

[[Image:miwa.kai.jpg|right|thumb|Miss Kai (center)]]

'''Miwa Kai''' ([[1913]] - December 10, [[2011]] ), always known as "Miss Kai" was the incredibly sweet and beloved retired librarian of the [[C. V. Starr East Asian Library]] in [[Kent Hall]]. Her office adjoined Professor [[Wm. Theodore de Bary]]'s on the fifth floor of Kent.

Miss Kai joined Columbia in [[1945]] and officially retired in [[1983]]. To mark her almost four decades of service, a cherry tree was planted in her honor outside Kent Hall<ref>http://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/archives/vol32_full/3209WEB.pdf</ref>. Despite being officially retired since then, she maintained an active schedule, driving to campus five days a week (being the first to open the office in the mornings), assisting visiting scholars with research, and writing a comprehensive book on history of the East Asian collection at Columbia University.

She has a penchant for kidnapping young [[Columbia College]] men (who are usually stopping in for Professor de Bary's office hours) and taking them out, in small groups, to [[Faculty House]] for dinner. She explains that her nonagenarian friends are usually too busy complaining about their bodily aches and pains, and that talking to Columbia students keeps her young and with the times. She will, upon request, happily regale her dinner companions with stories about the end of both World Wars I and II, how she was initially hired at Columbia (for sixty cents an hour), her travels on the Trans-Siberian Railway in the 1930s, her time in a Japanese internment camp during WW II, her encounters with Presidents [[Nicholas Murray Butler|Butler]], [[Eisenhower]], [[Kirk]], [[Cordier]], [[McGill]], [[Sovern]], [[Rupp]], and [[Bollinger]], and her many successful instances where she extricated herself from traffic tickets given by officers mortified to find they had pulled her over.

Miss Kai's drink of choice was a Wild Turkey on the rocks.

Miss Kai has written many elementary textbooks on the Japanese language and was honored with the Order of the Precious Crown, Wisteria, which she initially repeatedly declined, by the Japanese Emperor Akihito in 1995 for her long and continuing service in increasing the public availability of Japanese cultural materials.

Miss Kai claimed to plan to actually retire when her 600-page book was complete. Nobody believed her, even when said book was complete.

Miss Kai passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday, December 10, 2011. A few weeks before, during Thanksgiving, she was her normal bubbly, charming, and upbeat self, regaling her guests with humorous stories about how her nonagenarian friends whined and complained too much in trying to keep up with her.

Columbia College Student Council

2011-09-07T04:38:28Z

Ttan: /* Representatives at large */

[[Image:banner.jpg|thumb|CCSC Logo]]
The '''Columbia College Student Council''' (CCSC) organizes events and promotes issues that are important to [[Columbia College]] students. The CCSC meets on Sundays at 8pm in the Satow Room on the 5th floor of [[Lerner Hall]]. All meetings are open to the public unless otherwise noted.

You can email CCSC at ccsc@columbia.edu.

==History==

The CCSC began on a date lost to the mists of time, which is rumored to be in the 1950s. For some reason, it was dissolved in [[1962]], and was temporarily replaced by the [[Student Governing Board]] after the 1968 protests. In the 1980s, the board was re-instated and the Student Governing Board became the first of the five [[governing boards]].

== Members ==

The CCSC consists of three parts: the executive board, the class councils, and the representatives-at-large.
=== Executive board ===

* Student Body President: Organizes and runs meetings; chief advocate for CC student body
* VP for Policy: Pursues policy changes; heads policy subcommittee; assumes CCSC presidency upon vacancy of position by Student Body President
* VP for Funding: Treasurer of the council; heads co-sponsorship subcommittee
* VP for Campus Life: Plans campus-wide events for CC; heads campus life subcommittee

* Sophomore Class Council: Consists of a president, vice-president, and 2 representatives from the sophomore class.
* First-Year Class Council: Consists of a president, vice-president, and 2 representatives from the freshman class.

=== Representatives at large ===

* University Senator (1): Fully elected member of the [[University Senate]], although the SEAS undergraduate senator sits ex officio on the ESC, he/she does not report to the ESC, nor does the ESC exercise any statutory or governance authority over any element whatsoever of the University Senate or its elected members

=== Liaisons ===
The ESC has three official liaison positions to the other undergraduate [[student councils]], with one liaising to [[CCSC]], [[GSSC]], and [[SGA]].

== Co-sponsorships ==

Any [[club]] that includes [[SEAS]] students or wants to hold an event that will include [[SEAS]] students can apply for ESC co-sponsorship. Applications must be submitted by 6pm on Friday to be considered at the next ESC meeting. Email VP Intergroup Daniel Wong at [mailto:dsw2107@columbia.edu dsw2107@columbia.edu] for more info. Always fill the application out in full and with as much information as possible.

* Segregate all costs to avoid ambiguity:
: Instead of "Decorations & Food - $500", write "Decorations - $200, Food - $300".
* When asking co-sponsorship from CCSC, ESC, SGA and GSSC, always ask in ratio (3:1:2:0.9) unless you have a specific reason against asking in ratio.
: Instead of "ESC - $500, CCSC - $500", write "ESC - $250, CCSC - $750".

== Internal elections ==

[[Image:GoldbergProposal.jpg|thumb|300px|[[Adam Goldberg]]'s proposal]]

The ESC internally elects executive board members, including the president. This has been the subject of much controversy over the years. The election rules can only be altered during the annual constitutional review. Several council members have proposed amendments calling for direct elections, so far none have been approved. Several years ago, [[Adam Goldberg|someone]] accused the ESC of being insular and that it was only electing current council members to E-board positions. The ESC is also widely criticized by campus news sources such as [[Bwog]] and [[Spectator]] for holding internal elections.

Dean

2011-06-27T15:03:31Z

Ttan:

'''Dean''' is a title within the university that can have several different meanings, depending on the school or department in which the title is given. Historically, the title has been associated with academic oversight, such the dean of a particular school or the dean of students (who was originally responsible for the academic well-being of his students). The word "dean" derives from the Latin ''decanus'' (literally "chief of ten"), the same root from which the ecclesiastical office of ''deacon'' is drawn.

At Columbia, deans are broadly separated into "faculty deans" and "administrative deans". [[Faculty]] deans oversee a faculty body. Faculty deans evaluate faculty members, recommend them for tenure, set research priorities, hire and fire faculty, and create their faculty budget. Most faculties are also schools, such as the Faculty of the [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science]], or the Faculty of [[Columbia Business School|Business]]. Two faculties are "unified constructs" that serve multiple schools: for example, [[Columbia College]], the [[School of General Studies]], the [[School of Continuing Education]], the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[School of the Arts]] are served by the [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[College of Physicians and Surgeons]], the [[Mailman School of Public Health]], the [[School of Nursing]], and the [[College of Dental Medicine]] are served by the [[Faculty of Health Sciences]]. Although separate faculties of the respective schools, such as the "Faculty of Columbia College", once existed and still do exist on paper, they were folded into the construct of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1991.

When considering faculties that serve more than one school (as opposed to where faculty and school are synonymous), the dean of a faculty oversees faculty affairs and is considered the faculty dean, not the dean of the respective school. For example, the [[Dean of Columbia College]] is considered an administrative dean and has no oversight in faculty affairs. However, the incumbent Dean of Columbia College is also separately and equally the Vice President of Undergraduate Education for the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in a [[w:personal union|personal union]] which gives her some oversight into faculty affairs within the arts and sciences.

Administrative deans are those administrators who hold the title of "dean" but otherwise have no oversight into faculty affairs. Examples include advising deans, deans of student affairs, and deans of specific programs and centers. Broadly speaking, faculty deans are known as "deans" or "vice deans" and interact primarily with faculty, while administrative deans are deans of specific programs or centers, or associate deans, and interact primarily with students.

It is unclear if the newly appointed "divisional deans" in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, such as [[Amber Miller]], [[Dean of Science]], are to be considered faculty or administrative deans.

==Notable Deans==

'''Faculty Deans'''
* [[Nicholas Dirks|Nicholas Bernard Dirks]], Executive Vice President for Arts and Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
* [[Feniosky Peña-Mora]], Dean of the Faculty of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
* [[Morton Friedman]], Senior Vice Dean of the Faculty of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
* [[Kathleen McKeown]], Vice Dean for Research of the Faculty of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
* [[Glenn Hubbard|Robert Glenn Hubbard]], Dean of the Faculty of Business

'''Administrative Deans'''
* [[Michelle Moody-Adams]], Dean of Columbia College
* [[Kathryn Yatrakis]], Dean of Academic Affairs for Columbia College
* [[Roosevelt Montas]], Dean of the Center for the [[Core Curriculum]]
* [[Kevin Shollenberger]], Dean of Student Affairs for CC/SEAS and Associate Vice President for Undergraduate Student Life
* [[Kathryn Wittner]], Senior Associate Dean of Student Affairs for CC/SEAS
* [[Kavita Sharma]], Dean of the Center for Career Education

At Columbia, deans are broadly separated into "faculty deans" and "administrative deans". [[Faculty]] deans oversee a faculty body. Faculty deans evaluate faculty members, recommend them for tenure, set research priorities, hire and fire faculty, and create their faculty budget. Most faculties are also schools, such as the Faculty of the [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science]], or the Faculty of [[Columbia Business School|Business]]. Two faculties are "unified constructs" that serve multiple schools: for example, [[Columbia College]], the [[School of General Studies]], the [[School of Continuing Education]], the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[School of the Arts]] are served by the [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[College of Physicians and Surgeons]], the [[Mailman School of Public Health]], the [[School of Nursing]], and the [[College of Dental Medicine]] are served by the [[Faculty of Health Sciences]]. Although separate faculties of the respective schools, such as the "Faculty of Columbia College", once existed and still does exist on paper, they were folded into the construct of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1989.

When considering faculties that serve more than one school (as opposed to where faculty and school are synonymous), the dean of a faculty oversees faculty affairs and is considered the faculty dean, not the dean of the respective school. For example, the [[Dean of Columbia College]] is considered an administrative dean and has no oversight in faculty affairs. However, the incumbent Dean of Columbia College is also separately and equally the Vice President for Undergraduate Education in a [[w:personal union|personal union]] which gives her some oversight into faculty affairs within the arts and sciences.

Administrative deans are those administrators who hold the title of "dean" but otherwise have no oversight into faculty affairs. Examples include advising deans, deans of student affairs, and deans of specific programs and centers. Broadly speaking, faculty deans are known as "deans" or "vice deans" and interact primarily with faculty, while administrative deans are deans of specific programs or centers, or associate deans, and interact primarily with students.

It is unclear if the newly appointed "divisional deans" in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, such as [[Amber Miller]], [[Dean of Science]], are to be considered faculty or administrative deans.

Faculties

2011-06-24T17:24:25Z

Ttan: /* Deans and Vice Presidents */

'''Faculties''' at Columbia are the formal bodies that form the academic backbone of Columbia's 16 schools and two affiliates. Each is large, prestigious, and like everything else at the school, complex and decentralized. In total, there are 20 separate faculties, in addition to 79 [[Departments of Instruction|departments of instruction]]. In general, the "faculties" correlate to what most people know as "schools" within the University. 16 of the 20 faculties are the schools of Columbia University, 2 are affiliated schools, and 2 are organizational constructs ([[Faculty of Arts and Sciences|Arts and Sciences]], and Health Sciences).

The difference between faculties and departments in general is that faculties as a body are in charge of organizing curricular programs that lead to degrees and certificates, while departments are bodies in charge of instruction. Faculties can be made up of many departments or just one, and conversely departments can be part of multiple faculties or just one.

In the fall of 2008, Columbia employed 3,566 full-time faculty. 880 teach in the Arts and Sciences, 497 in the professional faculties, 2,189 in Health Sciences. In addition there are at least 70 instructors in physical education.

== Faculties ==

=== Faculty of Arts and Sciences ===
The unified [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]] is one of Columbia's two "super faculties" - administrative constructs intended to put one person (in this case the Vice President of Arts and Sciences) in charge of a number of faculties with significant overlap in needs and goals.

The unified faculty is actually a recent creation, having been established in [[1991]] as the culmination of a series of administrative restructurings. It is composed of itself and its 6 constituent faculties: [[Columbia College]], the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] (itself having been only formed in [[1979]] through the merger of the Faculties of [[Faculty of Political Science|Political Science]], [[Faculty of Philosophy|Philosophy]], and [[Faculty of Pure Science|Pure Science]]), [[General Studies]], [[School of International and Public Affairs|International and Public Affairs]], [[School of the Arts|the Arts]], and [[Continuing Education]]. The first three of these 'faculties' are actually made up of the same people, since they share a single body of instructors. Once upon a time though, CC, GS, and GSAS had separate faculties (i.e. sets of instructors - although a professor could hold appointments to more than one of them.) Today the "faculties" of those schools really just exist administratively to correlate to the curricular programs of their schools.

=== Morningside Heights Professional Faculties ===
There are 6 'professional' faculties on the [[Morningside Heights campus]]: [[Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation|Architecture, Planning and Preservation]]; [[Columbia Business School|Business]]; the [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science]]; [[Journalism]]; [[Columbia Law School|Law]]; and [[School of Social Work|Social Work]]. Each corresponds directly with a distinct school. The faculty of law is the only one at Columbia that can grant [[tenure]] without approval from the central administration.

=== Health Sciences Faculties ===
The unified Faculty of Health Sciences coordinates the activity of its 5 constituent faculties: [[College of Dental Medicine|Dental and Oral Surgery]], [[College of Physicians and Surgeons|Medicine]], [[School of Nursing|Nursing]], and the [[Mailman School of Public Health]]. These all operate out of the [[Columbia University Medical Center]].

=== Affiliated Schools ===
In addition to the 18 faculties of Columbia proper, the University counts among its faculties the faculty of [[Barnard]] and the faculty of [[Teachers College]], over both of which the University has oversight in [[tenuring]].

== Extra-faculty Administrative Boards ==
The university also has three administrative boards that exist outside of the faculties, but act like them, to oversee special programs.

===Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences===
All PhDs, regardless of which faculty the program is a part of, are granted by the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]]. This is the committee that deals with that quirk.

===Administrative Board for the Master of Arts in Teaching===
Oversees the [[MA]] program at [[TC]].

===The Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law===
The [[Parker School of Foreign and Comparative Law]] is a program housed within the [[Law School]] and undertaken jointly with [[SIPA]].

== Deans and Vice Presidents ==
Each faculty is led by either a dean, or in the case of the two unified super-faculties, an academic vice president (who is simultaneously dean of the super-faculty). They are appointed by the [[Trustees]] on nomination by the [[President]], and serve renewable terms of usually five years. The exception to this rule is the [[Law School]], where the Dean is selected by faculty election. All deans are subordinate to the [[Provost]], and in the case of the Arts and Sciences and Health Sciences, the constituent faculty deans are also subordinate to their respective academic vice president/dean who is in turn subordinate to the Provost.

Historically, the title has been associated with academic oversight, such the dean of a particular school or the dean of students (who was originally responsible for the academic well-being of his students). The word "dean" derives from the Latin ''decanus'' (literally "chief of ten"), the same root from which the ecclesiastical office of ''deacon'' is drawn.

At Columbia, deans are broadly separated into "faculty deans" and "administrative deans". [[Faculty]] deans oversee a faculty body. Faculty deans evaluate faculty members, recommend them for tenure, set research priorities, hire and fire faculty, and create their faculty budget. Most faculties are also schools, such as the Faculty of the [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science]], or the Faculty of [[Columbia Business Schools|Business]]. Two faculties are "unified constructs" that serve multiple schools: for example, [[Columbia College]], the [[School of General Studies]], the [[School of Continuing Education]], the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[School of the Arts]] are served by the [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[College of Physicians & Surgeons]], the [[Mailman School of Public Health]], the [[School of Nursing]], and the [[College of Dental Medicine]] are served by the [[Faculty of Health Sciences]]. Although a separate "Faculty of Columbia College" once existed and still does exist on paper, it was folded into the construct of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1989.

In that respect, the dean of a faculty oversees faculty affairs and is considered the faculty dean, not the dean of the respective school. For example, the [[Dean of Columbia College]] is considered an administrative dean and has no oversight in faculty affairs. However, the incumbent Dean of Columbia College is also separately and equally the Vice President for Undergraduate Education in a [[w:personal union|personal union]] which gives her some oversight into faculty affairs within the arts and sciences.

Administrative deans are those administrators who hold the title of "dean" but otherwise have no oversight into faculty affairs. Examples include advising deans, deans of student affairs, and deans of specific programs and centers. Broadly speaking, faculty deans are known as "deans" or "vice deans", while administrative deans are deans of specific programs or centers, or associate deans.

It is unclear if the newly appointed "divisional deans" in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, such as [[Amber Miller]], [[Dean of Science]], are to be considered faculty or administrative deans.

Dean

2011-06-24T17:15:55Z

Ttan:

'''Dean''' is a title within the university that can have several different meanings, depending on the school or department in which the title is given. Historically, the title has been associated with academic oversight, such the dean of a particular school or the dean of students (who was originally responsible for the academic well-being of his students). The word "dean" derives from the Latin ''decanus'' (literally "chief of ten"), the same root from which the ecclesiastical office of ''deacon'' is drawn.

At Columbia, deans are broadly separated into "faculty deans" and "administrative deans". [[Faculty]] deans oversee a faculty body. Faculty deans evaluate faculty members, recommend them for tenure, set research priorities, hire and fire faculty, and create their faculty budget. Most faculties are also schools, such as the Faculty of the [[Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science]], or the Faculty of [[Columbia Business Schools|Business]]. Two faculties are "unified constructs" that serve multiple schools: for example, [[Columbia College]], the [[School of General Studies]], the [[School of Continuing Education]], the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[School of the Arts]] are served by the [[Faculty of Arts and Sciences]], and the [[College of Physicians & Surgeons]], the [[Mailman School of Public Health]], the [[School of Nursing]], and the [[College of Dental Medicine]] are served by the [[Faculty of Health Sciences]]. Although a separate "Faculty of Columbia College" once existed and still does exist on paper, it was folded into the construct of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 1989.

In that respect, the dean of a faculty oversees faculty affairs and is considered the faculty dean, not the dean of the respective school. For example, the [[Dean of Columbia College]] is considered an administrative dean and has no oversight in faculty affairs. However, the incumbent Dean of Columbia College is also separately and equally the Vice President for Undergraduate Education in a [[w:personal union|personal union]] which gives her some oversight into faculty affairs within the arts and sciences.

Administrative deans are those administrators who hold the title of "dean" but otherwise have no oversight into faculty affairs. Examples include advising deans, deans of student affairs, and deans of specific programs and centers. Broadly speaking, faculty deans are known as "deans" or "vice deans", while administrative deans are deans of specific programs or centers, or associate deans.

The following are examples of prominent faculty and administrative deans.

Faculty Deans
* [[Nicholas Dirks|Nicholas Bernard Dirks]], Executive Vice President for Arts and Sciences and Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences
* [[Feniosky Pena-Mora]], Dean of the Faculty of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
* [[Morton Friedman]], Vice Dean of the Faculty of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science
* [[Glenn Hubbard|Robert Glenn Hubbard]], Dean of the Faculty of Business

Administrative Deans
* [[Michelle Moody-Adams]], Dean of Columbia College
* [[Kathryn Yatrakis]], Dean of Academic Affairs for Columbia College
* [[Roosevelt Montas]], Dean of the Center for the [[Core Curriculum]]

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-19T16:45:05Z

Ttan:

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'' function as a "super-student council". However, it is [[w:primus inter pares|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. Student members, therefore, are subject to very high standards and expectations.<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/committeepages/standards&expectations_sac.pdf Standards and Expectations for Student Senators]</ref>

== Name ==

According to the Senate's founding documents, the "Student Affairs Committee" once comprised a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/archives/reports_archive/10-11/sac_boardofvisitors_statutes_2011.pdf Statutes of the Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee]</ref>

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

=== Current Board ===

The seated Board of Visitors is as follows.

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T04:56:16Z

Ttan:

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'' function as a "super-student council". However, it is [[w:primus inter pares|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. Student members, therefore, are subject to very high standards and expectations.<ref>[http://www.columbia.edu/cu/senate/committeepages/standards&expectations_sac.pdf Standards and Expectations for Student Senators</ref>

== Name ==

According to the Senate's founding documents, the "Student Affairs Committee" once comprised a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

=== Current Board ===

The seated Board of Visitors is as follows.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

=== Current Board ===

The seated Board of Visitors is as follows.

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T00:57:13Z

Ttan:

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 [[w:primus inter pares|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 a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

=== Current Board ===

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T00:55:45Z

Ttan: /* Current Board */

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 [[w:primus inter pares|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 a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end of service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee who have served for at least one year are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place. Visitors may not concurrently serve as student or alumni Senators.

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T00:38:32Z

Ttan: /* Current Board */

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 [[w:primus inter pares|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 a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T00:33:40Z

Ttan: /* Membership and Election */

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 [[w:primus inter pares|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 a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board is self-perpetuating and elects by its own processes two of the three seats. The third is elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the [[University Senate]].

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. [[Emeritus]] status can be conferred upon the end service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Honorary Visitors are appointed in extraordinary circumstances by unanimous consent for individual alumni "of particular merit and accomplishment, and who have a long and successful record of encouraging and fostering student involvement in University governance."

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place.

=== Current Board ===

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T00:32:30Z

Ttan: /* Membership and Election */

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 [[w:primus inter pares|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 a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, and the entire twenty-four member body was (incorrectly, and 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.

[[Columbia College]] and [[Columbia Business School]] appear to be the most common, although [[General Studies]] and the [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.

== Board of Visitors ==

The Board of Visitors of the Student Affairs Committee was established in 2010 by SAC Chair [[Tao Tan]] and SAC Chair Emeritus [[Chris Riano]]. The Board of Visitors is charged with serving as an "advisory body to the Student Affairs Committee, and will be composed of those alumni who ... exemplified the highest ideals of leadership while at Columbia University, and who continue to achieve the highest levels of success within their chosen profession."

The Board possesses a tripartite mandate:
* To support and assist the current members of the Student Affairs Committee on a non-executive advisory basis.
* To pass on institutional knowledge and, when necessary, facilitate introductions and relationships that have served student Senators well in the past.
* To serve as a development vehicle to support the activities of the Student Affairs Committee.

=== Membership and Election ===

The Board of Visitors consists of nine members, with one class of three elected every year. The Board will be self-perpetuating and elect by its own processes two of the three seats. The third will be elected from a list of nominees provided by the current Student Affairs Committee in consultation with the Alumni Affairs Committee of the University Senate.

Each Visitor serves for a three-year term, renewable once. Emeritus status can be conferred upon the end service by a majority vote of the seated board.

Alumni of the Student Affairs Committee are eligible for membership one year following graduation from the Columbia University degree program wherein the University Senate service took place.

=== Current Board ===

The seated Board of Visitors is as follows.

Student Affairs Committee

2011-05-16T00:30:15Z

Ttan:

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 [[w:primus inter pares|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 a limited number of students along with faculty and administrators, while the "student caucus" comprised all twenty-four. However, the pre-1995 Student Affairs Committee's mandate was limited strictly to student issues, while the all-encompassing student caucus was able to weigh in on all Senate issues.

In 1995, a merger was effected, faculty and administrators left the Student Affairs Committee, 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 [[Graduate School of Arts and Sciences]] are also in there.
