ASCSU is the voice of CSU students, advocating for them at campus, local and state levels. This means fighting for affordable textbooks, negotiating a clean-energy option in campus residence halls, and overseeing $31 million in student fees. As well, we serve students through programs like RamRide, Student Funding Board, and the Collegiate Readership Program.
To help ASCSU function as a unified body, it is divided into three components, each serving a distinct purpose.
Representatives from nine colleges are elected by the student body to promote and represent student interests within each college. Senators serve as liaisons and voice the student opinion in college councils. Senators are responsible for researching, drafting and voting on legislation dealing with student issues in order to enhance the quality of education and life for both current and future Colorado State students. Senate meets Wednesday nights at 6:30 pm in the Lory Student Center Senate Chambers. All CSU students are encouraged to attend.
The Executive Cabinet includes the student-elected president and vice president and their appointed cabinet. Cabinet members operate within departments and perform a variety of functions to respond to and serve the student population.
The Judicial Branch is composed of one Chief Justice, who serves a one year term, and six Associate Justices, who each serve two year terms. Members of the Court are appointed by the president and approved by the senate. Primary duties include upholding and enforcing the ASCSU constitution and working with the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services.
