Executive Committee Meetings, 1970-1980
- Scope and content:
- This series contains a complete set of Executive Committee minutes documenting the relationship between SASU officers in Albany, and the member schools throughout the state of New York; the relationship between SASU and the Student Assembly; SASU's mission and the strategies used to achieve its goals; as well as the role the Executive Committee was to play in guiding the organization's development. It is quite clear that in the early 1970s Executive Committee members devoted much time and energy towards gaining support in SUNY schools which often did not believe that their needs could be adequately be met by an organization based in the capital. The series also contains minutes from the periodic Executive Committee retreats to reevaluate SASU's mission and the strategies necessary to achieve its goals, as well as the role the Executive Committee was to play in guiding the organization's development. Of particular note are two folders of legislative hearing statements and testimony given by SASU leaders both in Albany and Washington, D.C., on such issues as student unrest, 1972; financial aid (particularly the TAP program); open meetings, 1975; voter registration for students, 1976; and tuition.
