Elected Representation

The students’ council is a core pillar for PSU. It is an elected council with a wide range of activities and authorities. Additionally, elections for the Student Council are held annually with the main focus on diversity and overall representation. The Student Council is committed to academic excellence and scholarship, community service, integrity, and leadership.

The Student Council follows parliamentary procedures and protocol. Ideas are presented, voted on and confirmed by the majority vote. Students interested in leadership, organizational behavior, event planning or becoming more involved in the University are welcome to nominate themselves for election to the Student Council.

The elected representation for the Compliance Committee and the Compliance College Representatives at PSU embodies the principles of SDG 16, which emphasizes the importance of inclusive and participatory governance. These representatives serve as vital links between the faculty, administration, and the Compliance Office, facilitating a channel for concerns regarding overall university processes and policies. By actively engaging in the compliance framework, they ensure that the voices of diverse stakeholders are heard and considered in institutional decision-making.

The Compliance Office processes the feedback gathered from these representatives, addressing any issues related to compliance and institutional policies. This collaborative approach not only enhances transparency but also fosters a culture of accountability within the university. By providing structured feedback to higher management, the Compliance Office ensures that concerns are addressed promptly and effectively, thereby strengthening the integrity of university operations. In this way, the representatives play a crucial role in promoting a governance model that is responsive to the needs of the university community, ultimately contributing to the overarching goals of SDG 16 by ensuring that institutions are effective, accountable, and inclusive.
