Academic Councils
If you have any concerns that you think impact students in multiple programs you should bring these concerns to your council representative. Your council representative will share these with other members of your council. Council Delegates can share these concerns with all student leaders campus-wide during GSA Forum. If the concern is something that affects a majority of the student body or a vulnerable population, GSA leadership will take on the advocacy to a university and UC-wide level. If the concern falls within the scope of your council, they will advocate for change at the divisional/school level.
The Representatives of each Council shall ensure:
The Representatives of each Council shall ensure:
- The representation of the interests of the members of that Council to the governing bodies of the GSA;

- The election of Council Officers and Council Representatives to GSA committees and Delegates to the GSA Forum; and
