Student-Operated Services must be operated by students; however, all student employees report to the Coordinator of Student-Operated Services who acts in a general manager capacity.
-
Student-operated services’ defining characteristic is providing services to others that are professional in nature. They fit into the same set of requirements that all student groups have with a few notes:
-
Their organization tends to follow a business-like model.
-
They may be responsible for generating much more revenue than a typical student organization.
-
They may have hourly employees.
-
They may be very visible both on- and off-campus due to the nature of the service that they provide. Oftentimes, student-operated services are perceived by the community-at-large to be a part of the institution in the same way that a department would be.
-
The university often takes on additional liability concerns given the nature of the work that student-operated services perform.
