The Associated Students of the University of Washington (ASUW) is the student association at the University of Washington. It is funded and supported by the University's Services and Activities Fee with which it provides services that directly and indirectly benefit student life. The ASUW consists of over 80 student employees and 500 volunteers, and the organization spends approximately $1.5 million annually to run events, lobby the legislature, and fund various Registered Student Organizations as they put on their own programs.
The ASUW Student Senate was established in 1994 as the legislative division of the Associated Students of the University of Washington. The Student Senate provides a broad-access forum for discussion of issues both on campus and abroad, serving as the voice of student opinion for those at UW. Currently, the ASUW Student Senate has a membership of over 150 senators representing students from on-campus, off-campus, and commuter residential communities, as well as several protected classes and organizations.
