University Union Advisory Board Responsibilities

Board approved April 4, 2018

Student Government members have important duties and responsibilities to the Cal Poly student body. These responsibilities are derived from the ASI bylaws; often, the responsibilities change as the organization grows and changes.

It is a conflict of interest for ASI to employ members of ASI Student Government and require those individuals to have the responsibility of governing and making decisions regarding the organization by which they are employed. Because of this conflict, it is necessary to separate the roles by not allowing a student to simultaneously hold a position in ASI Student Government and be employed by ASI.

University Learning Objectives

ASI is committed to supporting the aspirations of the University Learning Objectives. Our student leaders are expected to make reasoned decisions based on ethics, respect for diversity, and an awareness of issues of sustainability. Additionally, they will work productively as individuals and in groups while communicating effectively.

University Union Advisory Board

The UUAB student membership shall be comprised of the Chair of the University Union Advisory Board, Vice Chair of the UUAB, one student members from each College (including the Vice Chair), one ASI Board of Directors representative, and the ASI President or designee.

Student members of the UUAB shall be nominated for two-year terms and approved by the committee. At the end of each year a re-commitment interview will be conducted for each member who is eligible to return for the second year of their term. Second year term appointments are conditional based on the results of the re-commitment interview. Following completion of the two-year term, student members may be nominated and re-appointed for an additional one-year term contingent upon approval of the UUAB. The ASI Board of Director’s representative is appointed by the ASI Chair of the Board on an annual basis. The ASI President or Designee shall be appointed annually.
