ASWSU refers to the Associated Students of Washington State University. This student government organization encompasses five campuses: Spokane, Tri-Cities, Vancouver, WSU Global and the central campus in Pullman, Washington.

Legislative Efforts

ASWSU on all campuses recently voted to opt out of the Washington Student Association as a lobbying group. Campus leaders did not believe the lobbying group was providing enough for what student's were paying. ASWSU President (Pullman) Jake Bredstrand also remarked that the addition of community colleges in the lobbying group as it "brings in other schools that have needs far different from ours".[1] The campus newspaper (The Daily Evergreen) recently supported the decision, stating their opinion that "A coalition can be accomplished without a middle-man like the WSA and if it involves more direct talk between Washington colleges, then we all might find a way out of this budget crisis together".[2] ASWSU will now form a "Cougar Coalition" that will lobby exclusively for Washington State University.
