Student Senate

Student Senate functions as the legislative branch of Student Government and exists to advocate on behalf of students to maximize the Baylor student experience.

These goals are sought and accomplished by 52 representatives elected by the student body to represent each class. Within Student Senate, these members are separated into six standing committees to insure that the student body is most efficiently represented. These committees include: Academic Affairs, Community Life, Finance,and Operations & Procedures. Ad Hoc committees also are formed, as needed, to address specific issues and projects.

Student Senate also has appropriating power over the Student Government Allocation Fund. Each student contributes $5 per semester toward this fund, which amounts to approximately $60,000 per semester. Student Senate allocates the funds toward programs, projects, or ideas aimed at the campus as a whole, community service, or charitable causes.

It is the duty of each member of the Student Senate to accomplish the aforementioned goals by operating as advocates for the student body.

*The Law School, Seminary, Graduate School and satellite campuses in Dallas and Houston do not currently have direct representation in this Senate. Financially they do not contribute to the Student Government Allocation Fund which is controlled by the Senate. They can be elected through an at-large process and they do vote for Student Body Officers.
