Student-Faculty Organizations Board

The Student-Faculty Organizations Board was a student-faculty committee, which originally (1938) consisted of four students, three faculty members, an executive secretary, and the dean of the university, who served as chair. The board made policies regarding student organizations on campus and made allocations from student activities fee collections to various campus organizations. In order to carry out the policies of the board, a Student Organizations Office was established and was directed by the executive secretary of the board. The Student Organizations Office filed records of all campus organizations, acted as treasurer for all disbursements, maintained a lost-and-found service, handled ticket sales for university theatre productions and various other campus events, and supervised the selection of students for inclusion in Who’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. The board was the precursor of the Central Program Council, which assumed many of the responsibilities of the SFOB when the Dean of Students’ Office combined the functions of the Dean of Students and Dean of Women.
