Preamble of the ASG Constitution

In the belief that the students have the right, as well as the obligation, to play a clearly defined and significant role in the formation and application of institutional policy affecting both academic and student affairs, and in the belief that a democratic student government is the best means by which this role may be played—We the students of Miami University hereby create the Miami University Associated Student Government.

• The Executive Branch - consitists of the Student Body President and the entire Executive Cabinet. These individuals are responsible for the day to day operations of the Associated Student Government

  • Departments of the Executive Barnch - Most cabinent members chair or oversee a specfic department (just as, for example how the US Secretary of Education is the head ot the US Deparment of Education and serves on the President's cabient). The Executive Department of ASG and the people in charge of them are as follows

    • Campus Activities Council - Also referred to as "CAC", the Campus Activities Council is chaired by the Vice President of Campus Activities. These people are responsible for all of ASG's events that have become tradition at Miami University. Homecoming, Kidsfest, Parent's Weekend and Springfest are just a few of the big events they plan. They are also the people who bring big names to campus such as Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, MTV Campus Invasion, Jay Leno, John Mayer, Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle, Nappy Roots, 50 and more!

Twenty four (24)from on-campus districts, twenty one (21) from off-campus districts, (three) 3 representing all of our fraternites at miami, and 2 representing our commuter students. The senate serves both a legislative function to tackle the issues on behalf of their constituents. Also, the senate plays an advisory role, submitting proposals to the University Senate (not to be confused with the Student Senate) and the Student Affairs Council for approval and implementation.

• The Judical Branch (website) - Student Court Justices serve as student advocates, informing students as to their rights and responsibilities according to the handbook, as well as jurors for those students "on trial" for non-suspendable disciplinary cases. Student Court is also the final interpreter of the ASG Constitution & Bylaws, and hears cases brought against the Student Senate or Executive offices.
