ASUCI Legislative Council Mission Statement

“We, the Legislative Council of the Asociated Students of the University of California at Irvine, as advocates for the student, promise to facilitate interaction amongst students, faculty, and administration, educate and inform the UC Irvine undergraduate community by pledging to be accountable to our constituency in an effort to enhance the quality of student life”.

The ASUCI Legislative Council branch is a representative body composed of elected or appointed students from each academic school. These student representatives are elected by the School of Biological Sciences, the School of Social Sciences, the School of Social Ecology, the School of Physical Sciences, the School of Information and Computer Science (ICS), the School of Fine Arts, the School of Engineering, the School of Humanities and the student body At-Large. There are also four (4) ex-officio seats, which are appointed by the Legislative Council members. Undergraduate students that represent a club/organization fill these ex-officio seats. These students are usually appointed by their own club/organization to represent them in regular Legislative Council meetings.

Legislative Council is responsible for approving the budget for the fiscal year, approving or rejecting any legislation that is brought to them, approving or rejecting the recommendations for amending the ASUCI Constitution, Legislative Council By-Laws, and the Elections Code. The members are also responsible for meeting with the dean of their respective school at least twice per quarter and holding bi-monthly office hours to address any concerns their constituents may have.

Legislative Council meets regularly on Tuesday's at 5:00pm. All meetings are open and every student is strongly encouraged to attend. Meeting rooms change, so please call 949-824-5547 to find the location of the next meeting.
