History

Indiana University has a long history of student government. In 1912, the university's first Student Council was appointed. In 1944, after a period of disinterest, the "Student Council" was recreated. In 1948, the Student Council was renamed the "Student Senate," and in 1967 it was renamed the "Student Government." Between 1974 and 1975, the Student Government was given the name it holds today, the "Indiana University Student Association."
