What do university students expect the Student Representative Council to do?

I really need your answers. What's the exact function of the Student Representative Council in a university? Does it meant for voicing out students' rights by managing their complaints only or it should more than that? What do students expect the Council to do for them? Why do students still keep lamenting about the Council even though many things have been done to improve the university? What exactly should the Council do in order to satisfy every student in the university? Some students just take the Council for granted %26amp; push whatever responsibilities on the Council, is there even a solution for these?

What do university students expect the Student Representative Council to do?
When I was in college (not too long ago), the ASUN (our version of student council) had a few primary, visible functions:





1) Planning and promoting events for the entertainment, education, and mingling of the student body (incidentally, the largest committee, with the largest budget and most responsibilities)





2) Acting as a liaison between the students and the administration. This goes both ways, allowing the students to have a voice with administration, but also allowing the administration to interface with students in a meaningful way.





3) (and this is semi-cynical) Allowing an opportunity for future politicians to pursue experience in representative government.





With that said, recognize that the students are always going to complain. I mean, look at the bigger picture. People always complain about elected officials, large and small. That's never going to change, and you're never going to satisfy anyone. If you try, you will drive yourself insane.





I think the key to being successful as a representative government is to try to get as many students actively involved as possible. Create commitees, advisory boards, and have a mechanism for allowing students other than the elected council to be part of them.
