The purpose of Associated Students, Incorporated (ASI) is to provide an official voice through which student opinion may be expressed within the Shared Governance of campus. True Shared Governance can only occur when student government, faculty, staff, and administrators work together to address and advise upon campus matters.
Shared Governance is Community Advocacy and Personal Growth.
Student representatives serving in ASI, the Academic Senate, or on University-wide Committees gain in-depth knowledge about academic, administrative, and campus policy at Cal State LA. Work side-by-side with faculty and administrators, tackle specific issues and take part in creating solutions to improve our university.
The Shared Governance Council, led by the ASI Vice President for University Affairs and the ASI Academic Senators, plays an essential role in the exchange of information between University-wide Committees and College Specific Committees to ASI Representatives and general students. From classroom policy to student fees assessments, the Shared Governance Council seeks to address campus-wide issues in the best interest of Cal State LA students. All ASI meetings are open to the public. For meeting times and more information, click above.

Student and Faculty Collaboration
The ASI Academic Senators (2 Graduate, 3 Undergraduate) represent student interests in the Academic Senate and work closely with Faculty Senators to plan and consider the development of academic policy. Most importantly, they vote on matters brought to the Academic Senate from its main committees and sub-committees. New policy and policy changes are then recommended to the University President for approval.
