ASUN-CSL overlap studied
Determining specific areas
of authority for ASUN and the
Council on Student Life (CSL)
is impossible, according to an
ASUN study committee report
on the relationship between
the two bodies.
t Instead, the report
recommends cooperation
between ASUN and CSL. One
body should refer its
recommendations on mutually,
relevant subjects to the other,
whenever possible, according
to the report.
CSL's gharter gives it
"general policymaking power
over student social and
out-of-classroom activities."
ASUN's constitution gives the
senate "powers necessary for
the general welfare of the
itudent body."
'The CSL charter and
ASUN's constitution overlap
considerably. Many areas are
under the jurisdiction of both
bodies," according to Bill
Freudenburg, study committee
chairman.
"The two bodies are
different types, and there's a
definite need for both of
them," according to
Freudenburg. CSL makes
policies subject to approval by
the Board of Regents. ASUN
represents the students in a
"spokesman's capacity" and
acts as an advocate for student
concerns, he said.
Freudenburg noted that
one of the strengths of CSL is
that the body was "set up
specifically to deal with policy
and policy changes." CSL also
has members from three
sectors of the University
community-students, faculty
and administrators, he added.
ASUN is the only body
authorized to appoint students
to official committees,
Freudenburg said. The senate
also budgets some student fee
money and recognizes campus
organizations.
'There's a place for both
ASUN and CSL (on campus),"
CSL member Mike Berns said.
"Working together, they could
do a lot for the sfudent body.
Each group has its
capabilities."
Because CSL is a small
bod'y it's adapted to
"policymaking that has to be
handled relatively fast or that
deals with really detailed
matters," Berns said.
Some areas are handled
better by one body than the
other, he added. "It all
depends on the situation."
Berns said. He noted that
ASUN was effective in
proposing an ombudsman's
office and the PACE
scholarship program. The Code
of Conduct and Disciplinary
Procedures and the health
center study were handled
effectively be CSL, Berns said.
Other recommendations in
the committee's report allow
for a CSL member to be
recalled by the ASUN
Executive Committee in
Student Court if he misses
more than six meetings a year.
