Legislative Branch
The Legislative Branch is charged with the direct representation of all students at UTEP. The Legislative is composed of one Senator per one thousand (1,000) students enrolled, including Collegiate Senators who represent their respective college or school. The Senate elects a Senate Majority Leader (SML) and an International Student Representative (ISR).
Senators pass bills to allocate funds for students and/or student organizations to be used for university related projects, events, or travel. Senators also work on initiatives called special projects which address issues that students have experienced on campus.
Legislative powers are also divided among the three standing committees and other ad-hoc committees which assist the legislative duties and functions of the Government
The Senate Majority Leader serves as an advisor to the Senate and keeps them informed on all legislative matters. The SML also serves as a mediator between Senators, and an ombudsperson between the Legislative and Executive branches, and the SGA Advisor.
The International Student Representative is charged with advocating for the wellbeing and advancement of international students at UTEP. The ISR also executes special projects designed for international students.
