Makeup of the Government


For those that do not know, UF has a political system much like the Federal Government. 

The Executive Branch is composed of a President and Vice President and Treasurer.  They get elected every Spring.

There is a Judiciary Branch in the form of a 7 person Supreme Court, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate.  All justices must be a law school student.

Finally, there is  the Student Senate.  The senate is comprised of 100 students, with 1 election in the Fall semester and 1 in the Spring.  50 seats are voted on each election.  In the fall, the seats are distributed by where a student physically resides:  Either in an on-campus residence hall, or an off campus district/zipcode.  In the Spring the seats are distributed by class and college.
