Abstract

According to the Knox College Student senate Constitution, Student senate is "the supreme governing body in matters related to non-academic student life on campus," and the "official representative of the student body to the faculty, administration, and staff." Its charge is to "preserve the rights of the students as outlined in the Knox College Student Handbook and in the constitutions of the various judicial bodies."

Sounds good, right? senate's definition of itself includes the words "supreme" and "official:" though the senate meetings themselves are far less formal than the literature implies, with jokes cracked, sandwiches consumed, and parliamentary procedure somewhat optional, that's just Knox. That's how we operate. We often do things by the seats of our pants, but we get the job done.

For Angie Martin and the Green Fee, senate proved to be the best way to turn an idea into institutional change. For Brian Camozzi and others, senate provides more obstacles than solutions.
