Executive Committee

Every other Sunday at 7:30 PM, Sidizens gather in the commons to eat snacks, talk with friends, and hear about what is going on within their community and government. Each council has a “theme”, provided by the Floor Reps who are in charge of buying food for that week’s Council. Students are encouraged to attend and give their input, as many important decisions both within Sid and the greater Rice community are discussed here. There are two parts of the Sid College Government: the Executive Committee (which meets Tuesdays at 9 PM) and Council, headed by the Executive Council.

The Justice League

The Justice League (aka the College Court system) is designed on the principal that students govern and monitor one another. Thus, when you have an issue (noise complaints, out of control parties, etc.) please contact an Associate Justice or the Chief Justice first as opposed to RUPD. This tends to mediate issues much better and leads to more constructive outcomes for everyone involved. In addition, if you plan on having a private gathering involving alcoholic beverages, text one of us (whomever you feel most comfortable with) and let us know.

Council Representatives

These are the members of Sid who represent Sidizens by voting at Council. Each class has three representatives. It is the job of each of these representatives to inform their constituents of what is happening at Sid, meet with them, and host events. Class representatives are in charge of organizing events for their class during these hard times. The council representatives will also vote on behalf of their class for new Sid legislation and new building procedures.
