Student Government Association at Murray State University

Student Government Association at Murray State University Racers! GOOOOOO RACERS! https://linktr.ee/murraystatesga In later years, the students changed the name to the Student Government. H. (1973).

“The Student Organization was first organized in 1936, and on May 11 of that year, the first Constitution for the Organization was written and ratified. The purpose of the Student Organization was to promote character and initiative through the responsibilities of effective organization and a featured purpose of the Organization was to expand and promote interest in student affairs, to provide the

means for the clear expression of student opinion and its presentation to the administration when advisable, to unify and systematize campus activities, to increase and clearly define student responsibilities, and to foster in every manner possible student character and initiative. Dr. Forrest Pogue, a former student and then a professor at Murray State and a distinguished historian, was helpful in writing or formulating the original Constitution. Because of the outstanding efforts of students and faculty advisors, the 1937 Shield was dedicated to the Student Organization. In 1968, the Constitution was rewritten and continues to serve as it has through the years as the effective voice of the students working in harmony with the administration and acting as coordinator of student- campus activities. In the 60’s, the Student Class Assembly consisting of the individual class officers, was made a facet of the Student Organization or the Student Government. The Student Council is composed of the class representatives in addition to the President, the Vice President, the Secretary and the Treasurer. Also, in 1966, a Judicial Board was formulated and approved by the Board of Regents and by the student body.”
