BACKGROUND
The District Board recognizes the important contributions MATC students make to
developing policy and representing the needs and interests of students from the entire
community. A student voice on the District Board provides a much-needed perspective to
many of the issues that challenge the Board as it shapes the direction and future of
MATC. Toward that end, the District Board finds it is in the best interests of the MATC
community that a student representative serves on the District Board.
APPOINTMENT PROCESS
The District Board Student Representative is to be selected by the Area Student Senate
Board by a majority vote. The Area Student Senate board represents the North, West,
South and Milwaukee Campus Student Senates which, in turn, represent the entire
student population. The term of service for the District Board Student Representative is
not to exceed six (6) consecutive semesters. Being appointed to the District Board as a
Student Representative is a privilege. The District Board has expectations enumerated
below that hopefully enhance the Student Representative’s contribution.
