I am also writing up my first Diehl speech, haven't contacted the player who it is for yet but I presume they'll accept it. Because, I mean, it's Diehl!

Usually, there’s some kind of deal with admin at the larger schools so that the student union building revenue goes to the sg.

As for their particular initiatives, student governments can ask students to vote on fees added to their tuition, etc. bills to cover costs.

We handle funding for all major campus events and almost all student affiliated groups go through our council, so powerful on that side.

On policy, it's generally weak and basically change is very slow because of bureaucratic processes.

There’s always space for a student representative or two, at least at the UC system
