committees and subcommittees, each of which specializes in a different area such as academics or diversity. The executive power of the SGA is held by the Executive Committee, the members of which are the President, the Executive Vice President, and several Vice Presidents who specialize in certain areas such as financial affairs or student life. The Executive Committee is responsible for setting the general direction of the SGA and communicating with the college administration. The judicial authority of the SGA is vested in the Judicial Board, which hears cases regarding violations of SGA policies and procedures and impeachment of SGA officers. The Judicial Board does not hear cases involving violations of college policy, but instead refers those cases to the Office of Student Conduct. The body responsible for planning and executing events is the Student Events Council, which has various subcommittees that specialize in different types of events. The Student Events Council is also responsible for managing Falstaff’s, which is a building on campus that is owned by the SGA and used as a space for student clubs and organizations as well as the SGA to hold events.

serving as the official liaison between students and the college administration, the SGA is also responsible for providing events and entertainment for the student body, as well as funding and regulating the approximately 90 student-run clubs and organizations on campus. The SGA and its officers must operate in accordance with the SGA’s governing documents, which consist of the constitution, bylaws, and committee operating codes. The constitution sets forth the general structure of the SGA while the bylaws outline specific policies and procedures that the SGA and all student clubs and organizations must comply with. Committee operating codes instruct committees on the purpose of the committee and how it is to function during its meetings.

It looks like a big chunk of the History section was deleted by an editor in one fell swoop in 2023, apparently due to not having enough citations. I can restore some of it, with added citations.
