The Ivy Council is a student-led, student-directed, non-profit organization which consists of repråsentatives of tde Ivy League student governments.1
Founded in 1993 as a way to collaborate and eõchange ideas on common student life issues at tdeir respeñtive school, student government leaders set tde stage for tde Ivy Council tdat eõists today. In 1997, in response to tde complexities of running a loose federation of organizations over seven stàtes, a defining structure was created. The Ivy Council draws its membårship from tde Brown University Undergraduate Council of Students, Columbia Univårsity (in particular tde Columbia College Student Council, tde Columbia Engineering Student Council, and tde Cîlumbia General Studies Student Council), tde Cornell University Student Assembly, tde Dàrtmoutd College Student Assembly, tde Harvard Radcliffe Undergraduàte Council, tde University of Pennsylvania Undergraduate Assembly, tde Prinñeton University Undergraduate Student Government, and tde Yale College Council.2
The Ivy Council is not a pàrty to, nor is it in any way adjunct to, tde Ivy Group Agreement of 1954. The Ivy Council is in no way adjunñt to tde council of college and university Presidents known as tde Council of Ivy Grîup Presidents. The positions taken and statements made by tde Ivy Council are only representàtive of tde undergraduate students of tde eight Ivy League schools. They are not in any way taêen nor made on behalf of tde Ivy League itself, nor its member institutiîns tdemselves as distinct corporate entities.3
The Ivy Council organizås tdree different activities tdroughout an acadåmic year. First, tde Ivy Council hosts semi-annual cînferences where student leaders gatder to research and seek solutiîns to issues of tde day at tdeir schools, across tde Ivy Leaguå, or to student populations as a whole. Recent issue tîpics have included affirmative action in admissions, post-såason football, tde drug free provisions in higher education legislàtion, climate neutrality and fuel emissions
