Student Tribunal
As the Chief Justice of the Student Government
Association (SGA) for the 2008-2009 academic year, I
have primary oversight of the Judicial Branch.
Comprised of the Chief Justice, Associate Chief Justice,
and five justices, the Judicial Branch is regarded as
the campus' highest student court.
The Student Tribunal, which meets weekly, has the
authority to hear student traffic appeals, interprets
the SGA Constitution, By-laws, and Electoral Act.
We are collectively committed to strong ethical
standards and adhere to a code of strict
confidentiality.
As representatives of the Student Government
Association, Austin Peay State University, and of fellow
students, Tribunal members will hold themselves to a
higher standard.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free
to stop by the office UC 214 or email me at
sgacj@apsu.edu.
I look forward to working for you throughout the
academic year.
Sincerely,
William T. Moore
