Student Association of the State University of New York records, 1970-1985.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122482121

The collection contains minutes of the Executive Committee, the Student Assembly, and the general membership meetings, executive and special committee members' correspondence with SUNY administrators, state legislators, and member schools, legislative proposals and reports, memos to state legislators, and SASU publications 1972-1985. The records in this collection document the concerns of SUNY students during the 1970s, and the ways in which these concerns intersected with the general social, political, and economic climate. The collection includes much information about student protests and lobbying organized by SASU against State proposals to cut funds to higher education during the mid-late 1970s. There is also information documenting SASU's attempts to ensure that the needs of minority students were voiced in the organization itself, as well as in the larger political arena. The records also contain a wide variety of materials documenting the legislative concerns of the organization, including SASU's annual legislative agenda, memos to state legislators, information from the annual legislative conference, and periodic reports from SASU's legislative director.
