  • The Yeshiva College Student Senate Stop Simplifying the Problem
    FEBRUARY 8, 2016 TheHow to be an accountant OMMENTATORKey Career Guidance For Volume LXXXI CThe Independent Student Newspaper of Yeshiva College, Sy Syms School of Business, and Yeshiva University • www.yucommentator.org Issue 6 From the President’s Desk: YCSA - The Yeshiva College Student Senate By Josh Nagel The New York Times in May 1969 published an article about Yeshiva University. No, not about a scandal, but rather about Yeshiva President Dr. Samuel Belkin’s approval to create a college senate comprised of students, faculty, and administrators at Yeshiva College. The Times called it “one of the most ambitious and far-reaching in the nation… [going] far beyond the formulas adopted at other universi- ties.” Universities across America established sen- ates around that time as well - many in response to violent student protests against administrators’ deci- sions - but Yeshiva’s model seemed to significantly expand the powers of the student body, without the pressure from protests. At first, the Yeshiva College Senate operated as a policy-making body, whose decisions became Col- lege policy, unless vetoed by President Belkin or the majority of the Faculty Assembly. After a few years, the Senate lost this absolute power, but remained in an influential advisory capacity. As the founding stu- dent leaders of the Senate noted, once the students, faculty, and administration representatives on the Senate approved a recommendation, the university community would have a hard time ignoring it. The Senate acted as a forum to share the respon- sibilities “for the operations and improvement of the College among the groups that constitute the College” (Constitution of the Yeshiva College Senate, 1969).
