Court and the Judicial Council. The Supreme Court consisted of one Chief Justice, and six Associate Justices. The Judicial Council consisted of three Judges. In Fall 2019, the student body voted in favor of approving constitutional reform which abolished the Judicial Branch of USG for the purposes of protection from legal liability and improving operational cost efficiency. The changes were justified by the claim that continued payment of Supreme Court Justices for office hours despite a notable lack of tasks available was financially wasteful. Current roster Abolished Current Agencies The USG has three different types of agencies; independent, quasi-independent, and joint. Independent agencies are agencies that are not aligned with the Legislative or Executive Branches. Ultimately the President is responsible for ensuring that these agencies are functioning properly. Quasi-Independent are agencies that report directly to the President. Joint Agencies are agencies that are created by the President and the Senate. Student Activities Board, 1959-Present A quasi-independent agency that provides programs and events on behalf of the USG. The Student Activities Board was significantly reformed in the spring of 2010 with the Establishment of Student Life Act establishing the Student Programming Agency (SPA) as a sub-agency to plan and carry out events, with the Student Activities Board consisting of elected USG representatives to vote on expenditures of the SPA in public meetings. Student Programming Agency, 2010-Present Established in May 2010, the new model of event planning replaced the former committee chairs of the SAB with a Director of Event Programming. PASS Tutoring, 2007-2015 "Providing Academic Support to Students" is a free tutoring service overseen by the VP of Academic Affairs, who can appoint a Director. Applications have traditionally been submitted on the USG website. PASS was repealed following the opening of the Academic Success and Tutoring Center. Special Services Council (SSC), 1969-Present A joint agency that reviews and approves/disapproves groups seeking the USG recognition. The SSC also provides additional funding to individuals, clubs and organizations for special events. This was known as the Programming and Services Council or PSC during the Polity years. It began as a decision making body in 1969 for the programs in the newly opened Stony Brook Union. Within Polity, it originally funded all clubs that received less than a certain threshold of funding. The intention was to make the process of starting a club and putting on events as easy as possible for small clubs. Over
