Constituted student body

The Constituted Student Body (VS) consists of the Student Parliament (StuPa) and the General Student Committee (AStA).

This is what distinguishes the Constituted Student Body:

1. Legal capacity
2. Right to levy contributions and financial autonomy
3. Political mandate and self-help
4. Right to issue by-laws

As a student self-governing body, the future ‘Student Body of the Stuttgart State Academy of Art and Design’ collects a semester fee in order to have its own funding available with which to organise and carry out nonprofit student projects. The Student Body is, for the most part, independent of the state and the rectorate in terms of its decisions, organisation, expenditure and activities. The university’s collegial bodies are obliged to consider the Student Body’s proposals and to act in an advisory capacity – not in a patronising manner – towards it. The Student Parliament appoints, supervises and may dismiss the members of the AStA. It enacts laws, defines tasks and determines measures which the AStA carries out.
