History

The Student:

Western Kentucky University students have a significant role in the internal governance of the University. Elected or appointed representatives of the student body serve with members of the faculty and administration on policy-recommending councils and committees. Student members of internal governance councils and committees are selected by the Student Government Association. For more information about the membership and function of these committees and councils contact the Dean of Student Life.

Student Life Policies:

The main theme of the Student Life Policy philosophy is student development and fair practices while learning civic virtues and abiding by student rights and responsibilities.

All university citizens enjoy the rights and liberties assured by the constitutions of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the United States of America. Likewise, they are subject to the responsibility and obligation to accord respect to the rights of others.

Special regulations on student life policies are spelled out in the student handbook, Hilltopics: A Handbook for University Life, which is made available to all students through the Office of Student Life.
