Question:

What do university students expect the Student Representative Council to do?

I really need your answers peeps. What's the exact function of the Student Representative Council in a university? Does it meant for voicing out students' rights by managing their complaints only or it should be more than that? What do students expect the Council to do for them? Why do students still keep lamenting about the Council even though many things have been done to improve the university? What exactly should the Council do in order to satisfy every student in the university? Some students just take the Council for granted & push whatever responsibilities on the Council, is there even a solution for these?

In theory I expect them to be advocates for things that students realistically need and the university should be facilitating, e.g. medical/legal, administrative issues with lecturers, etc.

Some friendly advice to save your head from exploding: you'll never please everyone in a university that has thousands and thousands of students some of whom will whinge no matter if you sprout wings and fly them to and from class.
