Harvard Undergraduate Council
The Harvard Undergraduate Council, Inc., colloquially known as "the UC", is the representative student government of Harvard College. The Council was established in 1982 by a vote of the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences and student referendum. The Council is responsible for the administration of student services, campus-wide events, and student advocacy at Harvard. There are approximately 50 undergraduate students at any given time serving on the Council, 3 from each of the 12 residential houses and 4 freshman districts. Students from the ''Dudley'' Cooperative also have a representative on the Council. The UC also collaborates with the Harvard Graduate Student Government, the representative student government for the twelve graduate and professional schools of Harvard University formerly known as the ''Harvard Graduate Council''.
==History==
In the year 1980, the Dean of Harvard College John B. Fox initiated a committee that was to be called the Committee to Review College Governance, chaired by John Dowling, who was a professor of biology at the College. This committee was tasked with the duty of determining the strengths and the weaknesses of the present system of governance at the College and of considering any needed reforms that might improve the quality of college life at ''Harvard''.〔http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~hua04000〕
This committee's deliberations eventually led to passage of legislation from the faculty, a bill which is created the Harvard-Radcliffe Undergraduate Council in 1982. The constitution of the Council was ratified by a student body referendum in the same year. The first Council had roughly 80 members, and these members would elect a chair and a vice-chair to oversee the Council. The Undergraduate Council funded undergraduate organizations with the proceeds of an opt-out fee collected from the tuition bill of each registered student, planned social events and services, and sent representatives to student-faculty committees. The Council today still carries out these duties and largely gets its revenue from the same original source of student tuition.
In 1995, the Undergraduate Council passed a number of internal reforms, the most notable of which was the creation of the roles President and Vice President, more closely modelling an actual government. In the year of 2002, in a symbolic gesture to honor the advancement of gender relations on campus since the integration of Harvard and Radcliffe Colleges, the Council voted to strike "Radcliffe" from its name to simply become the "Harvard Undergraduate Council".〔http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2002/4/2/council-removes-radcliffe-from-title-the/〕 Today, the Council still has the roles of President and Vice President; in addition, there are Chairs and Vice Chairs of the expanded sub-committees, in which most of the work of the Council is done: the Education Committee, the Finance Committee, the Student Initiatives Committee, the Student Life Committee, the Student Relations Committee, and the Rules Committee.
