Student Government acts as a representative of the student body by presenting student opinions and ideas to the faculty and administration, and by interpreting the policies and
standards of the College to the students. The Government is composed of a President and Vice President who are elected in the spring by popular vote of the student body, Student
Senators, Honor Council members, and class officers.
Through its own structure as well as the
appointment of students to serve on College committees, the Student Government involves
students in many aspects of the operation of the College. For more specific information
pertaining to the operation and powers of Student Government, see the Student Government
Constitution in section D of the Appendix, page 83.
All student media (i.e., WGMB, Veritas, Ripples) are managed by Student Senate that selects
the leadership, determines the budgets, and approves the rules for operation. Notwithstanding
the broad discretion given to the students to express themselves, the College administration
retains final authority over each media program of the College. The administration reserves the
right to limit activities or publication of material that is inaccurate, libelous, improper, or
incompatible with the values and mission of the College. The Dean of Students is the
President's designated agent for purposes of oversight. A faculty advisor is appointed annually
by the President for each media program. The advisor is to monitor not only the quality of
publications and communications but also ensure that the communications are compatible with
the values and mission of the College.

Honor Council
The Honor Council investigates and determines sanctions for violations of the Honor Code,
which prohibits cheating, stealing, and academic-related lying. Honor Council members are
appointed by the Student Body President and serve, barring impeachment or resignation, from
the time of their appointment until the end of their college career. Investigators, appointed by
the Honor Council Chairperson, assist in the investigation of cases but do not determine guilt or
innocence. For more information on the Honor Council or the other judicial boards on campus,
see page 9, 16, or the Honor Council Constitution in section E of the Appendix, page 91.
