The Notre Dame Student Union is divided into nine branches, as articulated in Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution of the Undergraduate Student Body of the University of Notre Dame du Lac.[1]
Senate
[edit]The Student Senate is the legislative body of the Student Union that shall formulate and advance the position of the undergraduate student body on all issues concerning campus life. The Senate is composed of representatives from each of the University's undergraduate residence halls, and other representatives from the Student Union.[2]
Executive Cabinet
[edit]The Executive Cabinet is led by the Student Body President and Vice President. Membership is composed of Cabinet Directors who lead various departments.[3] The Executive Cabinet is tasked with advancing the agenda of the President and Vice-President through working to protect the interests of students in all areas of university life, provide services to the undergraduate student body, and advance the policy priorities of the broader Student Union.[4]
Student Union Board
[edit]According to the Student Union Board's (SUB) mission statement, "The SUB Programming Body shall enhance undergraduate student life by providing undergraduate student services and social, intellectual, and cultural opportunities that respond to the needs and wants of the undergraduate student body in the most efficient manner possible."[5] SUB is divided into seven committees, which consist of Acousticafé, AnTostal, Community Engagement, Concerts, First Look Into Programming (FLIP) Live Entertainment, and Signature Events.[6]
Hall Presidents Council
[edit]The Hall Presidents Council (HPC) is responsible for planning, funding, and executing residence hall events. The council is composed of leadership from all of Notre Dame's undergraduate residence halls, in addition to council leaders.[7]
Club Coordination Council
[edit]The Club Coordination Council (CCC) is responsible for communicating issues facing undergraduate club issues, providing funding for undergraduate clubs, serving as the representative body of undergraduate student clubs, and working with student clubs to ensure that clubs can coordinate their programming of activities.[8] The CCC oversees around 400 student clubs,[9] each of which serves a unique purpose.[10][11] The approval of the council, along with that of the Notre Dame Student Activities Office, is a requirement for official recognition of student clubs.[12][13][14]
Class Councils
[edit]There are four Class Councils, one representing each undergraduate class level: First-Year, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Class Councils. They each promote the wellbeing of their respective classes by sponsoring functions that promote unity among class members. Each class is represented by four elected class officers, including a President, Vice-President, Treasurer, and Secretary. In addition to the officers, the Class Councils are made up of members from all across campus that work together to plan events.[15]
Off-Campus Council
[edit]The Off-Campus Council represents any undergraduate students not residing on the campus of the University. They provide to the needs of those students, given that the issues differ from those residing in the dorms.[16]
Financial Management Board
[edit]The Financial Management Board (FMB) is responsible for the creation and maintenance of a budget for the Student Union. FMB conducts an annual hearing to ensure that undergraduate funds are allocated fairly, known as the Annual Allocation Hearing. The FMB representative from each organization prepares a budget and then meets with the Student Union Treasurer to discuss their organization's monetary needs, which are presented at the Annual Allocation Hearing.[17] After the allocations are agreed upon by its members, the budget is proposed to the Senate Committee on the Budget, which either approves or rejects these allocations.[18]
Judicial Council
[edit]The Judicial Council is tasked with overseeing the ethical behavior of Student Union leaders, maintaining the constitutional conduct of the Student Union, administering its elections, and providing support through Peer Advocates to students navigating the Office of Community Standards' hearings and conferences.[19]
