The student government represents the student body. Starting in the 1961-1962 academic school year, the student government was called the Associated Students and was composed of three branches, the Student Senate, the Student Court, and the Executive Council. In the 1980-1981 academic school year, the student government was consolidated into one central unicameral governing body, calling it the Associated Student Government (ASG).
