Grade Your Administrators
The Administrator Test is an assessment tool that identifies the top 11 characteristics that prove that your administration is friendly to SG.
Be honest when you answer the questions. It won’t help to put all the blame for your current situation on the administration’s back. It takes two to make any relationship work.
Build A Better Relationship
Effective governance on at your campus hinges on a positive relationship between Student Government and “The Big A,” the administration.
SG-friendly administrations are easy to spot. Administrators are easy to talk to, treat student leaders as peers, respect the SG’s authority and role, and value SG’s input on key institutional decisions.
Like any other relationship, this one requires a lot of give and take. If the administration shuts you out of all decisions, it’s next to impossible to serve your constituents. But if the administration sees you as an equal partner in governance, your SG better meet expectations and deliver the goods.

The Administrator Test was developed by Chris Jachimowicz, an ASGA "Ask the Experts" panelist and partner in The SG Consulting Group.
