ASM Shared Governance Blog

Chair: Jeff Wright

The Shared Governance Committee advocates for student input in all decisions that affect students.  As a student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison you are fortunate enough to have a state statute that mandates student involvement in all decisions regarding our educational experience.

To accomplish this goal, Shared Governance appoints students to serve on student, faculty & staff committees across campus.  All Shared Governance appointees, as well as any student who is interested in working on expanding student representation, are members of the Shared Governance Committee. 

The Shared Governance Committee meets every Tuesday at 5:00pm in the Memorial Union.  All are welcome to attend.

The Shared Governance Committee appoints students to two types of committees across campus - Short Term Committees and Standing Committees.

Short Term Committees are committees such as search and screen committees and committees organized to respond to a single pressing issue. 

Short Term Shared Governance Committees

Standing Committees are committees that meet regularly, year after year.  They oversee a variety of campus departments and programs.  They make decisions regarding issues ranging from campus childcare to transportation to libraries to healthcare.  The list of standing committees is below.
