Inventory of the Duke Student Government Records, 1960-2007
The Duke Student Government (DSG) replaced the existing student government, Associated Students of Duke University (ASDU), in 1993. DSG is the governing body of Duke undergraduate students and acts as the principal liaison between them and the University administration. It presents students' views on the affairs of the University community, appoints students to University and Board of Trustees committees, and oversees and allocates funds to student clubs and organizations.
The Duke Student Government Records, 1960-2007, contain materials of both the DSG its organizational predecessor, Associated Students of Duke University (ASDU). Records consist of correspondence, legislation, minutes, reports, printed matter, judicial decisions, charters, memoranda, speeches, receipts, vouchers, and other materials, and document student governance and political activity, organizations, events planning, housing, and interaction with Duke University administration and the Board of Trustees.

The Duke Student Government (DSG) replaced the existing student government, Associated Students of Duke University (ASDU), in 1993 under a new organization in which the legislative and executive branches were consolidated. DSG is the governing body of the undergraduate students at Duke University and acts as the principal liaison between the undergraduate student body and the administration. It presents the students' views on the affairs of the University community, passes resolutions on the students' behalf, and appoints students to all appropriate University and Board of Trustees committees. It also oversees, charters, and allocates funds to student clubs and organizations.
