Amendment 12: Appointment of Student Body President to the Board of Governors of the State University

This amendment changes the way the state selects student representatives to serve on the state university system’s Board of Governors.

Opponents, including the League of Women Voters of Florida, say the amendment isn’t needed.

Supporters say the measure makes appointment to the board more equitable for all schools in the state university system.
