'''Columbia University Student Council''' was the predecessor to individual schools' student councils and associations, and governing boards.

CUSC had elected delegates from sixteen Columbia schools. The organization was frequently dismissed by Low Library because it had students from Barnard, Union Theological Seminary and Teachers College. <ref> http://books.google.com/books?id=F39SJn66jF0C&pg=PA428&dq=CUSC+Columbia+university&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4Oh6UZnRK-fL0wGruIHAAw&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=CUSC%20Columbia%20university&f=false </ref>.

== History ==

CUSC was first formed in 1948 amid a controversial tuition hike approved by the Columbia trustees. It was intended to represent "the student body of Columbia University...in matters affecting the student body as a whole." By 1958, editorials were being written about CUSC being a "sick and dying organization." <ref> http://spectatorarchive.library.columbia.edu/cgi-bin/columbia?a=d&d=cs19580304-01.2.10&srpos=&dliv=none&e=------195-en-20--1--txt-IN-Molinas---- </ref>.

In 1964, CUSC was able to successfully convince the City of New York to remove the entrance to the 116th St. subway station on Broadway that had existed in the middle of the street. Because it was the only entrance, it had caused deaths and injuries. <ref> http://c250.columbia.edu/c250_perspectives/write_history/302.html </ref>

In 1966, going against the Columbia Spectator and the Dormitory Council, CUSC opposed the construction of a gym in Morningside Park. <ref> http://c250.columbia.edu/c250_events/symposia/history_newyork_timeline.html </ref>

As a body with student representatives from all schools of the University, it was replaced by granting students equal membership status as faculty and administrators in the [[University Senate]]. The [[Student Affairs Committee]] of the Senate, as organized after [[1995]] to include the student senators from every school, is in effect the spiritual successor of the Council.
