- When in the best interest of the student body, override a Presidential Veto with a two-thirds vote.
- When in the best interest of the student body, remove from office any member of the Executive Board or the Senate.
- When in the best interest of the student body, recognize student organizations with a majority vote as requested by the Office of Campus Life and Leadership.
The Senate meets every Tuesday at 5:15 pm, University Center, Governor's Room to discuss and address issues of campus concern. Unless otherwise noted, weekly meetings are open to all students and other members of the East Central community. Everyone is encouraged to attend, to voice opinions, or to listen and observe.
