The
Tulane University Student Council was first organized in March
1915, and was composed of the President of the various student
bodies of the University. The President of the Student Council
served as the general student body President. Student government
later evolved as the Associated Student Body and provided for
the campus wide election of a President and Vice President.
Revisions
to the ASB Constitution in 1966 established two Vice Presidents
- Vice President for Administration and Vice President for Finance.
In 1972 constitutional amendments added to the student government
a Vice President for University Affairs. In 1980 constitutional
amendments added a Vice President for Academic Affairs. In 1990
a Vice President for Student Life was added and in 1996 the
Vice President for Administration was changed to the Executive
Vice President.
In
1998 the Associated Student Body split into two houses, the
Graduate and Professional Student Association and the Undergraduate
Student Government. Each house was granted an executive cabinet,
eliminating the Associated Student Body Vice Presidents. The
Associated Student Body President remains as the only student
government official elected by the entire student body. This
record was initially compiled and displayed in August, 1979.
This electronic version was compiled in and displayed in 2003.
Its purpose is to recognize the individuals who have distinguished
themselves as student government leaders at Tulane University.
