Florida Student Association
- Florida Student Association
The Florida Student Association (FSA) is a non-partisan statewide organization of university students formed in 1976 to represent the interests of students of the State University System of Florida. It is composed of the Student Body Presidents of all of Florida's public universities and their respective staffs
Florida law mandates that the Florida Student Association Chairman must be a member of the Florida Board of Governors. This represents an important shift from the operation of the previous university governing body, the Florida Board of Regents, to which the state Governor would select a student member (although Governors had historically given great weight to the FSA's recommendation in filling the seat).
FSA coordinates the collective efforts of each of the member student governments with a goal of proviing unified student representation before the Florida Government. FSA holds monthly meetings where student leaders can interact with their peers from other institutions, and it maintains a full-time staff in Tallahassee.
